Endo Stage: I don't know stage. I was just told severe.
PCOS: If yes, ovarian drilling? N/A
Lap: I begin seeking help for secondary infertility in Sept. 2008. I had a lap done in November and RE found severe endo. Had to remove a large cyst off right ovary. Tried IVF--empty follicle syndrome (due to endometrioma on left ovary?). Had another lap done in May to remove cyst off left ovary.
Protocols followed: I had DD naturally. I had a c-section, and there was no record of endo at that time. We began seeing RE in 9/08. I tried clomid for one month, but RE recommended going right to IVF, due to severity of endo. I have attempted two cycles--lupron, follistim, and menopur--both were step up protocols. I will be trying another cycle with step down protocol next.
Any additional tips such as diet or excercise that you feel worked for you? I haven't had any luck yet, but we are going to try naturally this month, since my cycle was canceled. Has anyone had any luck TTC naturally after a canceled IVF cycle? Any suggesstions for improving egg quantity (only had 6 follies first IVF and was only at 7 when this last one was canceled--may have had more pop up but they wouldn't have caught up)? I truly believe my ovarian reserve has been compromised, due to the cyst removal from both ovaries.
