Hey girls its been awhile, sorry I have been really tied up. Well it turns out all our hard work and effort into making a baby was a slight waste of time. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. I went to the doctor on thursday and was told I have endometriosis, which in other words means I cant have babies Crying or Very sad . Its a little hard to deal with at times but i'm sure I can get through it, maybe i'll adopt? Who knows? Thank you again, I just thought I would let you know so you wouldnt be wondering what happened to me.

Luv lee

Thanks, but its ok I guess theres not a lot to say. I'm pretty much speechless myself. I still cant get over it. I have to wait at least 3weeks to get into a specialist just so she can tell me I have it again and then wait until god knows how long to get into a hospital to have surgery, and all of the running around to get to the point of treatment is going to take at least a couple of months. Right now life is pretty low for me I used to see the light at the end of things but its just so hard to right now, i'm sorry for seeming so health forum and depressed but it was just not something I wanted to happen. Thank you for your concern I appreciate it. Your such great girls and i'm happy I can talk to you about this. I still have to tell my family.

O sweetie I am so sorry, but like you said there are still other ways to have children. You can always adopt! Maybe im sticking my nose where it dont belong, but did the doctor give you pills for your endometriois (sp)? I remember my mom had it since she was a teen, and she had pills for it because otherwise she would like pass out from pain, but she still had 3 children...I donno maybe there are different types. But anywho best of luck girlie! Melissa

I have to get surgery so they can remove the scare tissue and cysts, I cant take the hormonal pills like most women because mine is more advanced then that. Were not quite sure how advanced yet I still have to see a specialist, I have been told i've had this for a couple of years at least. There is no cure for endometriosis, you can only treat it even surgery wont cure it, in the most successful surgery almost all of the time in about 5 years its returned therefore more treatment is required.Although children arent impossible, if the surgery is only a moderate one for advanced but not radical endometriosis then I can start trying after 6 months. If I have a really bad case I will need a hysterectomy, or how ever you spell it. I still have a 65% chance of infertility.It sucks and thats only half of it! Thank you for all the positive support I hope I can still have a little one it might take a long time to get there but theres still a chance. I will keep you all updated on my results. Thank you you guys are great.

Luv lee
