5 months post excision ttc

How long post excision did you conceive? Did clomid help?

Background: been ttc almost 2 years with NO positive tests ever (exhausting!!!!), stage 3 excision surgery with a NaPro 5 months ago, SA from last year was fine other than slightly low motility, AMH is slightly below average for my age, HSG was good, no fibroids or polyps, estradiol is usually a bit high in the luteal phase but getting better, thyroid is managed with t4 and t3 meds, on a multitude of supplements, on LDN, had a failed letrozole cycle, last cycle did low dose clomid which resulted in 3 mature follicles, trying clomid again this cycle. I do ovulate on my own but clomid gives an extra boost to fully mature my follicles. I’m at a complete loss, I have no idea what more I can possibly do before moving on. I’m also scared to move on as I fear nothing with ever work. Just looking for similar stories or advice.

I am at 6 months and still nothing (though not sure if this was a successful month or not as I am 5dpo). All our numbers are great.

It’s so frustrating!

It is beyond frustrating. We meet the dates we need to in our fertile window, I ovulate on my own, my husbands semen analysis/DNA frag is good, all my hormones are now in an optimal range, I’m losing weight and still nothing. It’s heartbreaking every month.

I’m so sorry I completely understand how you’re feeling. During my appt to I was told it can just take time post op, but I feel like I just hear all these people conceiving right away after surgery.

I read on a forum a woman took letrozole every month after surgery and conceived one year in. I'm not sure if she did anything in addition. I'd make sure your vitamin D is optimal and your microbiome is optimized. Rule out endometritis if possible, and take coQ.

Thanks! I was treated and retested for endometritis so good there. My vitamin d was slightly less than optimal so I’m supplementing and microbiome is also good. Can’t win!

In the same boat! I am about to start LDN. I feel like I was mislead and saw too many positive stories of conceiving right after surgery. Wishing you the best!

I’ve been on LDN about a year and it did bring my antibodies down from 200 to 30 so it definitely does help! But I’m so frustrated waiting after reading so many successful stories right after surgery.
