Good Luck to you KAren and hopegully all is well from this point on. I am 25
and just had my second child. I was diagnosed w/ 4th stage endo and
adhesions all over my organs just like you about 2 years ago. I have tried
since then after 3 surgies to get preganant and Did. This was my husband and
my first child together. (i have a child from a previous relationship) SInce
my 6wk postpartum visit i have had nothing but problems. A right ovarian
mass that ruptured and bowel problems . They have talked about a hysto also
but because of my age they are trying to hold off...right now i'm kinda in
limbo. I would really like to have a third child (god willing) but it might
not be that way. I understand where you are coming from and hopefully this
is a new begining for you!!!
