Hi Jennifer. I just hope everything went okay at your appt. I just had
my first laparoscopy done a few weeks ago & I know what you mean when
you say you hated the coming out of it part. It sucked! I just wanted
to say good luck & know that if you do have to go through it again it's
because you want to get better...I know what you mean when you say
you're scared because you want to have a family one day. I'm 21, so I
can understand where you're coming from. My biggest dream is to have
children of my own, but who knows if that's possible. Sometimes it even
keeps me up at night & I just cry, but I just try to have hope. You
have a nice boyfriend to stick by you through all this. My boyfriend
says the same thing, that if one day we want to have kids, then we can
adopt. Adoption is something I wanted to do as well as have my own
kids, but now who's to say that it may be my only option. Just know
that you're not alone & that I'm right there with you. Take Care!
Sylvia.
