I would like to make a comment on this noticeboard.....I think that positive messages are good and need to be posted as when you first find out you have endo everthing seems so grim and negative and its great to hear it isnt always so.
I was diagnosed about 20 years ago now with endometriosis....OMG that long ago....I didnt realise how long ago that was till I wrote it down just now. I had had a baby daughter when I was 19 years old and had been trying to have another one unsuccessfully for 10 years when I first had treatment for my endo after being diagnosed following a miscarriage and then referred to a fertility clinic. I was one of the lucky ones and got pregnant on clomid in the first two months.
My son turns 19 next Monday. He is indeed my special child.
I still remember the desperation I felt on not being able to have a baby....seeing others around me fall pregnant so easily....the comments from others questioning why I had an only child....and the feelings of failure as a woman.....but please dont despair as there are lots of women like me who are success stories, you just dont hear from them as much....stay positive and remember your happy times are just around the corner. You dont know when the corner is coming up so just stay on the road and keep plodding along.
BTW I still suffer from endo but as I am now 51 my cure is now in sight.
