I completely agree with you! I will be starting Lupron in the next few days for a 2-month course. Despite initially being shocked and disappointed by the setback, reading about the success stories with Lupron on this forum has reassured me and put my mind at ease.
Hello, in January I also tested positive for Endo but didn’t experience any symptoms. Previously, I had two failed transfers and two MMCs. Treating my stage 1 Endo with Orlissa for 2 months led to success in April with a transfer, and I am now 10 weeks pregnant. I hope this gives you reassurance that a diagnosis can lead to positive outcomes! It gave me hope for my last FET.
“I have the same problem, I’m scheduled for a diagnostic lap next week. I didn’t realize these symptoms could be related to endo, as I thought they were just food intolerances without a clear pattern.”
I discovered I had silent endometriosis during an ERA before my first embryo transfer. I underwent three months of lupron suppression prior to the transfer, which was successful. Interestingly, for my second transfer two years after my first child, my doctor chose to proceed with a natural cycle without addressing the endometriosis, and that was also successful.
I understand that this news may come as a surprise, but as others have mentioned, it’s good that you are addressing the root issue before moving forward with another FET. I personally had to have endometriosis removed before attempting another ER. While I’m still navigating through this journey, managing my endo has made a significant difference for me. It’s likely that you will need to be suppressed for your next FET, as I will be too. Many people have found success after suppression, so hopefully the same will be true for both of us. Stay strong and hang in there!
I am a silent endometriosis patient with only infertility symptoms. The discovery of an endometrioma on my ovary during an ultrasound was a surprise since I never showed any signs. With a successful first transfer using a modified natural cycle, birth control, letrozole, and medrol kept the endo under control. However, my second transfer was unsuccessful. If there is another failure, my clinic may consider using depot lupron, although they prefer to reserve it for cases with at least two failed euploid transfers in a row.
“I was unexpectedly diagnosed with silent endo during my cesarean but had success. I didn’t treat it then, but now that we’re trying to conceive again, I plan to do an HSG to check if my tubes are still open. My ovary is fused to the back of my uterus, so it’s uncertain if everything is functioning properly. Unsure of next steps if they’re not.”
Could you please share your BCL6 score? My own score was 1.8. I have a similar diagnosis of possibly having hydrosalpinges or endometriosis, and I will be undergoing a surgery with a specialist. Although I have never had endometriosis symptoms, I am leaning towards hydrosalpinx. I am considering whether to do another Receptiva test after the tube removal to check if it has returned to normal or to try Lupron Suppression as a precaution. I am concerned about possible side effects of Lupron.
