I am a 29F. Most of my adult life I believed I had endometriosis. I had every symptom for it in the book. Within the last 2+ years when my husband and I started trying to have a baby and never conceived I knew somewhere deep down Endo was the issue.

We sought out fertility care last March after a year of trying unsuccessfully and we proceeded with IVF rather than wasting time on IUI. I knew I ovulated regularly and my husbands semen analysis came back great, so we were hopeful IVF would do the trick quickly. Never once was I tested for inflammation markers even though I told them I was suspecting endo was present.

I had a very successful egg retrieval in June last year, and in October of 2025 we transferred our first Euploid embryo. It failed to implant. In December 2025 we transferred a second Euploid embryo, it also failed to implant.

At this point I knew I had to stop, heal my heart and try to find out if Endo was truly the issue. In January of this year I sought the help of a renowned endo specialist who without question recommended excision surgery for me.

In March I had a successful excision surgery where he found and removed stage 4 DIE. It was everywhere. I stood no chance of getting pregnant previously with the severity of my endo. They also found that I had Endometritis from my biopsy performed during lap which I took one round of antibiotics for.

April 15 began my first full cycle TTC after the surgery. 3 days ago, May 7th, I had my first EVER positive home pregnancy test. May 8th, I read the words "pregnant" on a digital test for the first time in my life. I fell to the floor and Thanked God.

Obviously it is still very early, but I would not even be this far had I not trusted my gut and gotten the help of an endo specialist who knew how to treat me.

Find the specialist. Get the surgery. Change your life. I'm wishing everyone here the absolute strongest baby dust. It is possible for us to conceive. Please don't lose hope. Sending to much love to each and every one of you. My heart is with you.

Please pray I have a sticky baby in my belly. 🙏💕
