Endometriosis and TTC Pink

[pinkplease123]

Dear Ladies,
I was wondering if there was anyone else out there who has had endometriosis and was TTC pink? We've tried for 4 months with no success and I know it takes time to conceive, but I'm wondering if I should be trying something different than the one attempt at +OPK?
With my first child, I had a lap done and successfully became pregnant a few weeks later with my son. For the sway, I was taking pep tea, folic acid, sudafed or zyrtec at attempt with Rephresh, cranberry, drinking diet sodas, vegetarian/relaxed LE diet (althought I feel like I have been doing a LE diet since my hair is turning grey!), having breakfast later in the day, doing J&D and hubby is taking LR, bikes/exercises, abstains and is cool if he has to sway as well :) We're both 34 and have no other health issues, except for stress which we are working on but who doesn't? :) I had cut back on the sway due to the BPN by removing cranberry/diet sodas (since not sure if pH really sways), rephresh/zyrtec (concerned that it was really decreasing the # swimmers/creating a super hostile environment). Lost alot of weight- I'm 5'6" at 108 lbs. Son is now 2 and hoping for pink! Any recommendations/advice would be appreciated! Thank you!!!

Have you been temping/charting for your attempts? Are you sure of when you Oed? How well timed have your attempts been?

Pinkplease I'm sorry about all your BFN's. I don't have endometriosis and have no advice there..but I have had 3 attempts and boy its really hard to get BFN each month. I think your BMI must be very low..... I would advise holding steady with the weight and try and up your fat intake a bit atomic suggested eggs twice a week and one full fat dairy option per day for me and I'm 116 pounds 5 6". Everything you have dropped sounds good.
I would also bump this for some personal advice from atomic. Good luck!! X

Hi there,
I have endometriosis too and I've tried for three months but stuffed up my timing for each of those months so I think that's my problem.

Would it be worth seeing your doctor to see if you need another laparoscopy? It seems that endo improves after having a baby as mine has but it might be worth checking out. Swaying is hard work so I hope endo isn't your obstacle.

Atomic might know more, but as KitKat said it might be worth adding some more nutrients before you add more attempts.

Good luck.

Thank you for the support Girls!! I have been using OPK strips, which I think have been pretty accurate along with other physical signs, but it's something to look into.... I can always increase my fat intake :) I will def keep on trying, let's see what happens! Thank you!

Thanks Kitkat! Maidentomother- Thanks for reminding me about timing! bc I forgot that I did do 0+12 for 2 attempts when I first started and fudged up on one attempt, so looks like I am fine and on track and am learning with each attempt! Best of luck ladies!

I would not have you lose the one attempt till you drop everything else first and give it a couple months with that.

So, I would drop RepHresh, Sudafed/Zyrtec, cran like you already have, but also have hubby drop LR, biking, and abstain (you don't need to drop them all at once, I'd def. lose the abstain first).

I would consider skipping the pep tea too just in case your estrogen is getting too low.

If you really must add in attempts at this point and/or aren't sure if you're hitting it right at pos OPK for best odds of conception with one attempt, I'd switch to the every 4 day method, have unprotected sex every 4 days and try to time your last attempt to be the day before O if possible.

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes by all means add in the full fat dairy, the eggs, and one serving of salmon per week. You are def. getting too thin and I would not have you lose any more
