Hi,
I am new here, but have been lurking for a while, and would really love some advice.
I was diagnosed with Endometriosis in December, after a very frustrating year with numerous visits to A&E because of extremely strong pains (thought my ovaries were exploding). After my diagnosis, things actually got worse because in the UK surgery is only a last resort, and the only reason I was diagnosed was because at one point they were worried I had appendicitis, did a laparoscopy and found the endometriosis, however they did not remove it. :-/
After this I was put on the pill and this made my endo worse since I had my period on a daily basis, and when I finally had surgery in April in my home country, I was diagnosed with stage 3 endo.
They got rid of all the endo tissue and put me on the coil, however told me that I will have great difficulty in conceiving naturally and should do it as soon as possible, now I am 20, so I was not planning on having kids any time soon.
Here comes my question, or why I am asking you for advice. I definitely want kids, and this may sound very selfish, but I want to experience the joy of pregnancy too and feel a little life growing inside of me. But I am worried that if I wait I won't be able to conceive.
I know this is a long shot, but maybe there is someone here who was also diagnosed with endo quite young and was able to have children later on? Or just your experiences in general with endo.
Thank you in advance :-D
