No, I haven't been looked at for endometriosis. I actually had a miscarriage (@ 8 weeks), then I had a healthy baby girl who is wonderful, and a few months ago I had another miscarriage (D&C @ 12 weeks). I'm really lucky to have my daughter, and I don't think the doctors are concerned about the fact that I've had 2 miscarriages since I had a healthy pregnancy. However, my daughter was 10lbs 8 oz at birth, so I'm a little nervous that I may have developed gestational diabetes later in the pregnancy. I was also reading on this site about the role of hormones in women and IBS, and it makes me wonder if I have some hormonal problem that isn't being considered. I'm probably looking for a solution when there isn't one to be found, but I know that the stress of the miscarriages has played a major role in not eating right and having big IBS attacks. I'm also pretty worried that going on medication could be bad for a baby if I do get pregnant. We're not trying yet because I want to lose weight and get my IBS under control first (and to be frank, I'm not ready to face even the possibility of another miscarriage), but I don't want to do anything that could further complicate adding to our family. This was probably way more than you wanted to know, but that's what I meant about the fertility issues. I guess that's really an inaccurate statement, since I've gotten pregnant 3 times, but I didn't know how else to put it. ?
