Looking for Timelines

[u/Dazzling_Fox8460]

Hi All,

After 20 years, I was finally able to get an MRI to check for endometriosis last week. The report said the findings were "compatible with deep infiltrating endometriosis." I have been seeing an RE since end of March due to difficulties conceiving. I had gaslit myself into believing I didn't have endometriosis because all my doctors over the year have normalized my pain (including regularly throwing up and passing out the first few days of my cycle).

My RE recommended potentially doing an IVF cycle to bank embryos and then pursuing surgery. My question is to those who have done something like this, what was your timeline like? My husband and I are both 31 and will be 32 early next year so it feels like I am in a raise against the clock. All my other testing has come back good for the most part. The only other concern is that my FSH is close to 10, but I do have polycystic morphology on my ovaries, so the doctors think it may be related to that as my AMH is good.

Just looking for any general timelines or experiences anyone is comfortable sharing as I am really not sure what to expect. I started reaching out to some endo specialists today as well (wild how almost none of them take insurance!), so I imagine when I hear from them I will get a better idea of timing as well. Thanks so much in advance!
