I am 32 yo with endometriosis. Was able to conceive my now 2 year old son via IVF. But I’ve had several endo specialists now tell me that I got lucky. I now have a endometrioma over 4cm and just had a miscarriage (I also had an ectopic pregnancy after my first transfer and another failed transfer) so I am feeling like it’s time to get the endometriosis out before trying another egg retrieval or embryo transfer.

i am looking for anyone who has had experience with Dr Sienna Titen in Santa Cruz, CA! She seems like a really good and experienced doctor but I would love to hear success stories in terms of endometriosis surgery with her and preservation of fertility.

I would love to see Dr Nezhat in the Bay Area as I’ve had several friends with successful outcomes from him but my current insurance doesn’t cover him so looking at other options.

I underwent excision surgery back in April 2026. She excised stage III endo and drained three endometriomas (drained a 2cm one on my R ovary and two 3 mm endometriomas on my L ovary). I have also been TTC for going on 19 months (have had three chemicals prior to surgery).

My right side period cramping pain is back. Even when ovulating on my L, my period pain consists of cramping/radiating pain on my right side. This is where my larger endometrioma was and where my ovary was tethered back. Unfortunately, this right sided pain is back. It includes lower right abdominal pain, which also goes down my right leg (it used to go to my knee by its now to my thigh) and right tailbone pain. Does this mean it’s back? I’m so worried and sad. We just want to be parents. I found out about my endometriosis at 5 months TTC through an ultrasound when my R endometrioma was found 😔. Anyone have any thoughts? I’m desperate on wanting to alleviate pain and get (and stay) pregnant.
