Kelli Girl, Hang in there... It sounds like you are having a hell of a time - I'm so so sorry. I had my first lap at 21... You really really need to find a doctor who you feel comfortable with who knows what they are talking about when it comes to endo. Don't let them bully you!!! I know how easy it is to just want them to take charge and tell you what to do to fix it all - but without your knowledge of your body - they don't know anything.

All the doc's seem to be leaping to the Lupron/Hysto solution these days when there are so many other options and valid positive results through diet and exercise changes. Check out all of the info from http://www.endometriosis.org - they have great research. Do searches on this site for "diet and exercise" and "naturopathic" - there is also good work being done around "natural progesterone" - I suggest you start there. For me part of the focus on the pain and definitely the depression came from feeling alone, discouraged, and helpless. When I started to take some control of my disease the positive results were immediate and dramatic.

Your strong somewhere under all this pain! - I'm sending you so much strength right now to find that part of you. and caring thoughts. warmly, amy

Lately, all I can do is lay in bed and cry. i just had my 3rd lap and doc says he has to do a hysterectomy within two years! I am 21! I don't even have a boyfriend, so the chance of my ever having children is out. Especially since i have level 4 endo, the chances of concieving, carrying, and delivering a baby are so low. I know i want to adopt and I have wanted to do that even before i knew i couldn't have children. it just all hit me at once. it has me so depressed. i also justs lupron so i am having menapausal symptoms on top of all this. please don't think i am a big baby, i just wanted to vent a little before i try to go to sleep again. my throbbing has been keeping me up lately.
