Hi, I'm fairly new to all if this and really in need of some support. I'm 27 just diagnosed in July with early Stage 1 -2 endometriosis. We started trying about 2 months ago but the second month was on clomid which thinned my lining too thin. Should we go to injectables like the RE doc wants or try on our own first? Help?

You've been trying for 2 months, and the second month was already medicated? Have you read the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Wescheler? I think the RE is taking advantage of you!

I second what Ouchy says! Just because you have endo doesn't mean you're unable to conceive. There's a lot of signals your body can give you to determine if/when you're fertile, and if conditions are appropriate for conception (such as the length of your luteal phase). Your body has a lot of that info already, it's up to you to interpret it. Taking Charge of Your Fertility can help you figure all that out, and THEN if you need help from your RE, you'll know what measures are appropriate and necessary.

I just wanted to ask how long should we try on our own before going back to the doctor?

I think that's a personal decision. If it were me, I'd give it at least a few months. By chance has your husband been checked, too? Might be an easy test to rule things out. No sense in trying a lot of things if he's the one with the issue!

I was wondering if anyone had pain with ovulation (mine just started this ovulation) and was still able to conceive? It hurt so very bad right along my pubic bone I have not had such pain with ovulation before i'm really scared. It lasted about 30 minutes and I took a tordol? Any thoughts?

Oh dear lord I get so much pain with ovulation my entire leg will hurt. I'm not sure about my fertility though cause I've never tried Also, in my women's health class my teacher said on average, it takes couples about 11 months of trying to conceive. Now remember, this is a statistic so there are always the couples who get pregnant right away, and there are some who take longer. But ON AVERAGE it's 11 months. Also, keep trying, have fun, and try not to stress too much about it. Sometimes I wonder if our bodies sense all this stress and shut down. Also that fertility book will teach you all about how to track your fertility, basal body temps, fertile mucous checks... lots of good stuff. You'll know exactly when you're ovulating and will be waiting in lingerie at home for your hubby. HAHA!
