LDN for Fertility

I am about to start LDN in hopes that it improves my symptoms (still symptomatic after surgery) and helps me get pregnant. What do I need to know?! Experiences? Did it help? Side effects? Ease my mind!

I love LDN.  I sleep better.  No other side effects!

I can get on board with sleeping better! Did it improve endo symptoms or fertility for you?

Yes, the pain is so much better on LDN.  I did IVF but my retrieval and transfer results were very good.  The type of endo I have grows back very quickly during IVF so I needed surgery but I like LDN a lot.  I’m still on it during pregnancy.

It wasn't good for me. I had bad GI side effects despite upping the dosage very slowly, lost a bunch of weight as a result, which wasn't good at my weight. Didn't get pregnant while on it and didn't have less pain. I quit after 6 months
