Jamie, my name's Katie, and I'm new here too. I have a son who's almost 5 months old, and I understand completely what you're feeling. I didn't have any trouble conceiving my son, but I know that that could change any day. My endo went away during my 5th month but came back after about 4 weeks and appears to be getting worse than ever. Luckily I'm only 20 so I still have some time. But my biological clock started ticking the moment I heard my doctor say the word endometriosis. Which is kind of sad to realize at 19 that there's a pretty good chance you might not be able to get pregnant. I know I'm probably just setting myself up for disappointment cuz I know that if I wasn't able to get pregant again, then that would just completely crush my self-esteem, but I can't help it. I don't know how important having kids to you is, but I think that's one of the biggest contributors to my depression. My husband wants to wait until I get my degree to have another one, but I'm so scared I won't be able to when the time comes. Sorry if this depresses you, but you're not the only one who worries about this. Good luck with your wedding and trying to get pregnant. Katie.
