>Hi Shella,

I feel for you, but don't despair , it took me 4 years to get pregnant with Endo and I now have a beautiful little girl. 1yr old. There is so much more they can do now than when our parents were younger and the success rate of IVF is so high now. I got pregnent through IVF.However I do know the hard task of trying to get pregnant with endo , people seem to think that it's just because you can;t get pregnant that you are dpressed and don;t understand the all the PAIN that increases with not being on any drugs ect whilst you are trying , tyhe best words of encouragement are that you are not alone and keep fighting as it only makes you stronger. kylie
