Dr Braverman patients or people with Endo

Hi all. I am doing consults to find a new RE/RI for when I am ready to try again.

For those who used Dr. B and have Endo... Was Endo surgery a must for him?

I described what I have gone through with my cycles and other symptoms. He felt there was no doubt Endo is present and effects egg quality.

The thought of Endo surgery on top of all else has my head swimming

I am a Dr. B patient. I didn't have any symptoms of endo but he still wanted me to have a lap so he could rule it in or out to design my treatment protocol. I had the lap in Jan 2016 and turns out I didn't have any, but the surgery wasn't a complete waste for me because they did ovarian drilling which solved my egg quality issue. But yes, I think he pushes the surgery. Hopefully that's a little helpful.

I have severe endo, I'm stage 4 mess
I had to have the surgery to diagnose it, it honestly wasn't too bad and helped with my endo symptoms for a short while

Re: Dr Braverman patients or people with Endo

I did it I mainly bc I was 31 years old and still unexplained after 3IVFs and 12+IUIs without even a hint of a pregnancy.

I did the surgery and it turned out I had a moderate case, btw the surgery and tweaks in protocols I finnaly got pregnant with twins on my second IVF with him .
