Dear Simp
*Hugs**Hugs*, don't be sad. There is a silver lining out there. Try and keep yrself busy and read up more about endo. stress is no good for ttc but we are human so we have ups and downs. But cheer up,
I will try and email you a eBook i bgt over the net on Diet and endo. It tells how to adjust our diet and cope with endo. I believe that besides all the painkiller and hormone jab, changing our lifestyle and diet is very impt.
My doc did not suggest ivf, in fact i was the one who bring up the subject. My gynea is pro-natural type lor, so he says try natural first, he will help us and give us emotional support. He say ivf stressful and success rate only 20%, so may end up heartache. It was precisly that he want us to ttc naturally that's why need to go for jab to curb endo to clear tube, easy conception and sustainability if preg.
AFter my first hormone jab, i felt hot fluhes for about a few hours. After that no more side effects. I was also very concern about side effects but my doc assured me won't have cos he did a "add-back" therapy i.e., take a pill once a day to balance off the side effect. You can read more about GnRH and add-back theraphy in the net.
I did not go for tcm, there are a few names floating around in other threads, you can check it out. I will consider tcm after the hormone jab cos i scare will interfere with treatment. Why did Dr Loh ask you to take jab? i thought that if you are going for ivf, then no need ? if you are thinking of ttc, then you can either try straight away and forget about jab or take the jab then ttc (but means delay ttc for a few months). Maybe you can ttc first cos you mentioned that endo cells are cleared and tube is cleared after lap. Just give yrself 3 months and see how.
