Members shared their deeply personal experiences with stage 4 endometriosis and pregnancy, revealing a wide range of outcomes from natural conception to assisted reproduction. Several members found success through different paths, including one who conceived naturally 15 months after surgery and became pregnant again just one month after giving birth, another who succeeded with IVF after being told natural conception was nearly impossible, and one who had three children despite her diagnosis, though she also experienced heartbreaking losses due to the disease. A recurring theme was the emotional toll of infertility, miscarriage, and the physical challenges of severe endometriosis, balanced with hope and encouragement that pregnancy is possible with the right treatment, timing, and support.

Congratulations! I also have stage 4 and have had IVF but unsuccessful. I only ended up with 2 high quality embryos after retrieval. Neither were successful. How many embryos did you get? How many did you transfer before you got pregnant?

Hi, I've got stage 4 and was trying to get pregnant for a long time without any success. Finally I went for a second opinion and advice and my the doc who is now my surgeon advised my husband and I to do IVF as it was close to impossible for me to conceive naturally. We started IVF treatment last year mid September/October and on December 24th I was pregnant. I was 34 years old, now I'm 35 and carrying my first child who is due in August. I cannot wait to meet my little bundle of joy.

Stage 4 with multiple surgeries, told I had a 3-6% chance of getting pregnant and wouldn’t likely carry to term if I did. Sex is so painful we haven’t had it in 4 years.
