Very interesting to read. I have had cancerous cells removed about 2years ago. Been trying to pregos for 8months. Went in for a check up with my gynie this week who said I have endo. Surgery in a week. Hoping to get preg after the op. have tried everything else to get pregos, natural fertility, cupping, ovulation tracking and strips, different positions, the lot. I'm only 24 so fingers cross things will happen soon. ]]> Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:04:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5840446&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5840446 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5833999&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5833999 Author: luccablue

Hi there,

I also have endo, and (thankfully) experienced no pain since being pregnant. ]]> Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:06:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5833999&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5833999 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5832510&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5832510 Author: Liesel

Hi there, I also have endo and have had two lots of surgeries with the amount of endo tissue removed increasing with each opertaion. This is my second pregnancy since it was diagnosed (approx 8 years ago)the first pregnancy was just after having the second surgery and I had little or no pain during that pregancy. I am now into my second trimester and still have endo type pain, daily. When I raised the possibility with my midwife that the pain could be endo related she phoned an obstetrician at our local hospital to make further inquiries. The specialist has stated that she is very certain that there is no way my pain could be endo or scar tissue from my previous operations...I am now waiting to see an obstetrician which is exactly what I have been trying to avoid! Anyhow I guess the point of my story is, it's best to discuss with your midwife/gp particularly if the pain continues past the first trimster as mine has.

I have endo, and I found that I had mild cramping all through the first trimester with my son which was scary, but not serious. It cleared up after that.

Good luck!]]> Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:05:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5829923&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5829923 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5829076&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5829076 Author: katia

Hi I have had endo since I was 12 yrs old and have had 22 surgeries in total to laser it but like normal every 6 to 8 months it grew back I never had periods and was lucky if I got one a yr so was very fortunate to get pregnant as you can imagine.
With my first pregnancy it was really bad the pain I was in went into the second trimester and was so bad I landed in hospital for pain relief but the great thing was after having her I was pain free for 15 months ;).
Then it came back and I had my 22nd surgery ;( and got told I needed to resort to a hysterectomy as my lost option cause I had not had a period for 5 months again by then and that my ovaries are dormant ;( and should be happy I have my girl.
Well I had some other complications with something unrelated my jaw and got told to book surgery for that too I decided can't do both so ill book jaw one and wait to get my full hysterectomy not even 2 wks later I got pregnant with my second.
Crazy and to have a second miracle makes me realise don't let anyone tell you it can't happen ;) i am now due with my second in July and my daughter was born 3yrs ago in 2010 ;).
Have had pain with this one too but nothing close to the pain I had with my daughter lying down and paracetamol seems to do the trick which is great I'm thinking its cause now the body knows what to do and is already stretched inside or could be cause my lost surgery was last February not sure.
All I can say is congrats on your pregnancy take it slowly it really does hurt but I know lots of woman it clears up early in pregnancy which means no pain. Just depends how much endo you have there I guess ;(.
Anyway writing to much good luck and if you ever need to chat let me know ;)

You're probably lucky that you had a pregnancy straight after surgery as that's the best thing for it! Unfortunately we weren't ready back then and the pain came back after about a year :/]]> Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:26:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5828859&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5828859 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5828858&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5828858 Author: Hopes

I do/did have (I'm not sure of the current status!) But I had a lap operation to remove it just before I got pregnant with my first, so I guess it was all gone for the pregnancy. I didn't notice anything at all out of the ordinary - I did have a decent amount of cramping, but I've talked to lots of people who had similar without endo, so suspect it's a pregnancy thing. And my next two pregnancies have been one after the other, so I don't know whether the endo would have had any time to grow back in the months between. Not a lot of help, sorry!]]> Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:21:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5828858&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5828858 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5828828&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5828828 Author: Nessanz

Hi there,
I live in Christchurch so probably a bit tricky to get to this time round, but thanks for the heads up about the Endometriosis group! I was lucky to not have too much pain once I had a Mirena put in (no periods) but everyone is different hey? Scar tissue can be really painful too. Keep in touch!]]> Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:13:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5828824&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5828824 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5828817&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5828817 Author: Nessanz

So sorry to hear about your losses. That must be hard to go through a second time. Big hugs!!! Thanks for sharing your experiences. Before trying to get pregnant I was taking the contraceptive pill continuously so I never got periods (as recommended by my gynae) but I still got pain. The pain got worse when I came off the pill to get pregnant, and last month was really bad. Hopefully this month all the pregnancy hormones will be in full action and it won't be so bad. I have wondered about the stretching of adhesions and scar tissue as the baby grows. I had a lot of adhesions when I had my two laparoscopic surgeries in 2007 and 2009 so I'm sure there will be more now!
Anyway good luck with recovering from your lost little one and good luck with trying again when the time is right.

If you're feeling up to it, Insight Endometriosis is holding a fun walk at Hamilton Lake this coming Wednesday which I'm helping organise. PM me if you want more details or anything, maybe we could meet? :)]]> Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:05:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5828817&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5828817 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5828811&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5828811 Author: tan73

Hi there,
I have endometriosis. I have had two pregnancies that have both unfortunately ended in miscarriage (totally unrelated to Endo). The first pregnancy finished at 12 weeks. I am in my second pregnancy but have been diagnosed with a blighted ovum and am waiting to miscarry. Anyway, in my small amount of experience, I have enjoyed less endo pain due to not having a period. However, I think there is more of a different pain due to the scar tissue. I have a lot of stretching pains as the uterus grows. I know normal pregnant women do too, but I do wonder if I might get it a bit more because of the scar tissue.

With me, the endometrial tissue grew and swelled and irritated when I got my period and because I didn't get a period anymore, it meant the endometrial tissue wasn't affected. However, I believe that other women will be affected in other ways. Hope this helps a little bit. Congratulations on your pregnancy!]]> Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:55:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5828811&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5828811 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43120&PID=5828795&title=endometriosis-and-pregnancy#5828795 Author: Nessanz

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if there are any other ladies out there who have Endometriosis? I'm wondering what to expect with regards to endo pain during pregnancy. I'm currently 8 weeks and in my 5th week (just before I found out I was pregnant) I had the usual week-long excruciating pain, stuck in bed not even able to make myself a meal. Will this carry on through pregnancy or will the pregnancy hormones make it calm down?

I'd love to hear about any of your experiences so I know what to expect.
