Hello XXXXXXX
Endom triosis is a severe condition ad depending on the severity and grade of the disease (which is can be determined by laproscopy ) it can cause infertility . In your case if the disease was already existing during your pregnancy maybe in mild severity which got severe over time. Right now, i agree with your treatment plan . Zoladex is a drug which causes endometriosis to sshrink . Normally i recommend 3 cycles of the drug before trying for pregnancy . Once the drug acts and the endometriosis blebs shrink chance of getting pregnant are increased . You should plan for the prpregnancy immediately after your Zoladex is completed . There is usually upto 40% increase in chances . Yes, endometriosis blebs can recur hence te immediate need to plan for pregnancy immediately after your Zoladex treatment plan.
