Wow, My Mind is Blown: Silent Endo Surgery—The Game-Changer You Need to Know About!

Just had to share my experience with silent endo surgery because the results are seriously insane. :open_mouth: Went in feeling nervous and unsure, but I can’t even describe the relief and the crazy results. No more pain, no more anxiety. I feel brand new! Has anyone else tried this? Let’s chat about it!"

I find it fascinating that my periods are very similar to how yours were - super light, with only one pad needed per day even on heavy days. I have experienced two failed transfers already and have one more attempt planned. If this one also does not work, we will move on to a laparoscopy. I am curious to see if there are any changes in my menstrual cycle after these procedures, as it has been consistent for many years.

I went through a series of challenges including a blighted ovum, chemical pregnancy, and unsuccessful implantation of embryos with PGTA normal results. However, after a positive receptiva test and undergoing Lupron depot treatment, I finally had success on my fourth transfer. Despite my doctor’s dismissal and negative test results, I pursued treatment with an endometriosis specialist, had surgery to remove the endometriosis, and am now 32 weeks pregnant without the need for IVF. I share my story in hopes of inspiring others who may be facing similar struggles.

I underwent an endo lap after unsuccessful IVF, and my surgeon warned me that my first 3 periods after the surgery would be more intense. I experienced increased cramps and heavier flow initially, but then it returned to normal. However, after the surgery, my next IVF cycle led to a successful pregnancy. So, if your periods return to lighter flow in a few months, don’t worry - your body needs time to adjust after major surgery.

I’m thrilled to hear about your progress and the support your diagnosis is receiving. Best of luck as you continue on this journey step by step! :two_hearts:

Thank you for sharing! I have a laparoscopy scheduled for August 20th with no endo symptoms, just very light periods. Can I inquire about your recovery experience? Have you experienced problems with thin lining? I believe my issues may be related to my very light periods.

I can’t believe it! After my IUD, my period is so light. I hope this helps you get pregnant!

Congratulations on receiving these glimpses of hope. Were your unsuccessful transfers from tested embryos? I’ve experienced failed transfers with euploid, mosaic, and untested embryos. Since I haven’t had multiple failed euploid transfers, there is hesitation to do a more thorough investigation. It has been difficult for us to create embryos, as we only obtained four from nine egg retrievals. Did you have to advocate for biopsy and surgery?

I appreciate you sharing this information! I have experienced light periods like yours and have mentioned it to multiple doctors without much concern. After two failed transfers, we are now undergoing another egg retrieval and considering an endometrium biopsy. It’s helpful to hear your experience as it may be related to my own issues.

It took me 4 years to conceive and during surgery for fibroids, my doctor discovered stage 4 endometriosis, which I had no symptoms of besides infertility. Six months later, I became pregnant on my first transfer. The surgery revealed something I didn’t know I had and I’m grateful for it. My first period post-surgery was also very heavy. Wishing you the best of luck!

After undergoing 9 years of IVF treatments across 3 countries with over 12 cycles, I became pregnant right after my laparoscopic surgery. Despite having silent endometriosis and heavy periods since age 14, the lap didn’t affect the amount of bleeding I experienced.

I hope this information helps you! I am also dealing with silent endometriosis and have had five transplant failures. My previous doctor was against having a laparoscopy done because it could affect my ovarian reserve. We tried Decapeptyl before my last transplant, but it was unsuccessful. I am now consulting with another doctor who recommends a laparoscopy before considering another cycle. I am worried about the impact on my ovarian reserve, but with Decapeptyl not working, I am running out of options. Additionally, I typically have light periods and minimal cramps, so the ultrasound revealing an endometrioma was surprising to me.

Wow, it’s truly regrettable but having good blood flow is a positive indicator!

I find myself in a very similar situation as well. After 3 unsuccessful transfers, my doctor suggested looking into silent Endometriosis. Following the surgery, they discovered stage 3 Endo despite me having no symptoms. Hoping for better luck in my first cycle post-surgery, and hoping for the same for you!

After discovering stage 2-3 endometriosis during my laparoscopy, I noticed my periods may have been heavier for a few months post-surgery, but now a year later they have returned to their previous light flow, or possibly even lighter.

I was surprised to learn that people with endometriosis experience heavy bleeding, while those with lighter periods are less likely to have endo. Best of luck to you!

After having my stage 4 endo removed, my periods were extremely intense for the first few months. I was worried about the decision I made, but they are starting to improve now. Hopefully yours get better soon!

Can you please clarify if by positive biopsy you are referring to the Receptiva test? I experience light periods and am curious about the possibility of having endometriosis.

Stay strong after the surgery, the first one is always the toughest.

After my laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, I noticed a decrease in the heaviness of my periods. It is important to not jump to conclusions about having the condition based solely on light periods.
