the cause of my infertility is stage IV endometriosis . a large endometrioma swallowed up the R side of my reproductive organs, leading to the removal of my tube and ovary. it also twisted the life out of the L tube and displaced my L ovary. you can read about the "big" operation here, though i have has a few since then. i am lucky to have a remaining ovary and my uterus. with no communication between the remaining ovary and twisted tube, IVF is the only chance at getting me pregnant.
