HI THERE. I READ YOUR POSTING AND I THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE YOU. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE ENDO. THE ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT FOR SURE IS TO HAVE A LAPAROSCOPY DONE. THEN YOU WILL KNOW FOR SURE. I HAVE HAD ENDO FOR 9 YEARS, I HAVE HAD 6 LAPS DONE FOR ENDO AND I SUCCESSFULLY HAD 2 CHILDREN. FOR YEARS I WAS TOLD BY DOCTORS AND PEOPLE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME, THAT IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD. IT REALLY FRUSTRATED ME BECAUSE I FELT THAT NO ONE WAS LISTENING TO ME OR HOW I WAS FEELING. I AM LUCKY, I AM MARRIED TO A WONDERFUL MAN AND WHEN WE FIRST MET, I WAS STARTING TO HAVE ALOT OF PAIN. 10 MONTHS LATER, I FOUND OUT THAT I HAD ENDO AND THAT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN. THAT DEVASTATED ME AND I WAS AFRAID THAT HE WOULD LEAVE ME. HE DIDN'T AND WE GOT MARRIED IN 1998. 14 MONTHS LATER, WE HAD OUR FIRST CHILD, AND 16 MONTHS AFTER THAT, WE HAD OUR SECOND. I KNOW HOW YOU MUST BE FEELING, NOT HAVING ANYONE LISTENING TO YOU WHEN YOU SRENOT FEELING WELL. I WOULD LIKE IT IF YOU WOULD E-MAIL ME TO LET ME KNOW HOW YOU ARE MAKING OUT. TAKE CARE. KIM
