Hello,
Has anyone with advanced endometriosis (ie: chocolate cyst) ever try MACA as a supplement. As well, has anyone tried the NAC supplement. Can you take both at the same time? Are there any limitations of taking these supplements (ie: side effects?) and can they be taken with TCM during an IVF session?
Thanks!

31 Years Old, deemed a poor responder with DOR due to severe endo (chocolate cyst on right ovary).
Am currently trying to figure out what worked for others in similar situations as me ?

NAC definitely helped with endo pain, my ND also suggested Omega 3 supplements to reduce inflammation.Which indeed helped alot with reducing the endo
Hailey Victoria: I see that you had stage IV Endo, did NAC help get rid of all the endo or did you have lap surgery? I had a lap surgery and diagnosed with stage IV endo as well. Trying to see what supplements can help, so that the endo doesn't come back
