were you able to conceive naturally?
Hi everyone. I’m posting this with a hopeful heart and would really love to hear from women who have been in a similar situation. ❤️
My husband and I have been trying to conceive naturally for a few months. I had previously been taking dienogest to manage my endometriosis, and after stopping it, we decided to give ourselves a few months to try naturally.
Unfortunately, after being off dienogest for a few months, my pain became increasingly difficult to manage. The pelvic pain, cramping, and discomfort were becoming too much, so we decided it was time to get checked more thoroughly.
I honestly wasn’t expecting the results we received.
I was recently officially diagnosed via pelvic ultrasound with an endometrioma, adenomyosis, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). I already knew I had endometriosis, but finding out that I also have adenomyosis, an endometrioma, and DIE all at once was honestly heartbreaking and overwhelming.
One of our biggest hopes is to have a baby, and we really want to conceive naturally. Because of our faith and beliefs, we are not pursuing IUI, IVF, or other assisted reproductive procedures, so we’re trying to understand what natural conception may look like for someone in my situation.
I know everyone’s journey is different, and I’m not looking for medical advice or guarantees. I’m just hoping to hear some real stories that might give me a little hope. 🥹
If you have endometriosis, adenomyosis, DIE, an endometrioma, or a combination of these — and you were eventually able to conceive naturally — I would genuinely love to hear your story.
Especially:
- How long had you been TTC?
- What were you diagnosed with?
- Did you have an endometrioma/DIE/adenomyosis?
- Were you told that natural conception would be difficult?
- Did you have surgery or hormonal treatment before trying?
- And how long did it take before you conceived naturally?
If you were able to conceive naturally despite these diagnoses, please share your story. 🤍
I’m feeling scared and discouraged right now, but I’m also trying so hard to hold on to hope. Maybe hearing from women who have walked this road before me will remind me that these diagnoses don’t automatically mean the end of our dream.
Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to share. ❤️
