I am 27 and was diagnosed with endometriosis at 21. I was told not to wait past age 25 to have children. I had lap with D&C and also took one dose of Lupron along with add back therapy for treatment. I tried several forms of birth control with no results. I was even more irregular and passed lg blood clots. I had my 1st child in 2009 and my 2nd in 2011. I had a boy and girl so I decided to have my tubes tied. Since I have experienced irregular periods and pain with intercourse. Saw my OBGYN PA and she suggested ablation. Still unsure of my decision, but wanted to share my story for all the young ladies out there concerned with fertility. There is hope, I became pregnant without assistance very easily despite my condition. Good Luck to all of you in your attempts to conceive.

I am 33 years old. Three years ago, after suffering with painful periods for more than 16 years, I was diagnosed with endometriosis and fibroids. My doctor said if I wanted children, I should have them sooner rather than later--which was a worry since there wasn't anyone special in my life. This is such a painful disease and it's been so hard to diagnose. Although I have tried to live with this, I am fed up with having a hot water bottle constantly strapped to me and taking strong painkillers that don't seem to work. I've gotten to the point where I must consider surgical treatment for this condition since I can no longer take the pain. Yet I'm devastated if it prevented me from having children. I sympathize with other women who have this condition and advise anyone who is unsure to listen to her body. It's taken me so many visits to the doctor, but hopefully surgery will be the end of this painful road.
