Hi Paige,
I understand how you feel. I'm 24 and had an operative lap about 2
weeks ago.
The Doc said cuz I had endo & fibroid at such a young age, the chances
of them recurring will be higher. I told him I wasn't ready to have
kids so soon so he recommended me a course of Lucrin shots and
Progestogens which I'm still pondering if they're worth taking. Well
what I don't get it is, since this stupid endo thingy is gonna come back
even after pregnancy, then why do we need to rush into it? Aren't things
gonna be back to square one again?
Argh..I hate Endo!
