Hi Kim! I am sorry for the rough time you are having. I do not want to
offend you in any way but the 1st thing that came to mind is that maybe
their is a reason for postponing that surgery. Oh I know we all want to
be pain free! & healthy, free from this stupid disease...but perhaps
their is another plan for you here. When things like this happen in my
life I take it as a sign that maybe this is not the road I am suppose to
follow. You know also women do get pregnant under the worst possible
circumstances, when Drs. have told women that their is no hope. It
happens quite often! You just never know. I do not know your entire
story about the reasons you feel it will never happen, well endo of
course but perhaps more?
Maybe their is also another route that you can follow for treatment for
this disease also? Hey I do not know it all, just my initial thoughts. I
hope you feel better!
