My big sis is having trouble conceiving. She has endometriosis. she has benn ttc for 3 yrs. She just had a surgery for her endo about 6 months ago. She also had in-vitro done but it failed. What other options are out there now?

Hi there. I found out I had endo about 6 months ago too. Mine is in the cul-de-sac area. Where does your sis have it? I have tried 2 IUI's and may move on to IVF myself. I am so sorry for the stress that this is causing - it can be very hard. I am unsure about any treatment beyond IVF, although there are so many types of IVF out there now. I just wanted to give you as much hope as I could in letting you now that you are not alone and that I have read all over the internet (including in this site) positive stories about people conceiving with endometriosis. Please don't give up! We are here for you and your sis and care very much! :wave:

Hey there, sorry about your sis, but I have heard of something called Artificial Insemination which is similar to IVF except they will take the males sperm and desposit into the female cervix. This is not the same as IVF since they must take the egg out, fertilize it, then replace it back in. Other choices if she is up to it is to have a Surrogate Mother ( Agree with another woman to have a child and pass it on to you) or Adoption. There may be other ways out there, sorry if this doesnt help :(
