All I can say is it's probably best to wait a year or two and find a good relationship/partner/husband if you can. I understand your impatience....I was just diagnosed with stage 4 endo, tubes are probably closed, I'm 37 and I'm afraid it's not in the cards for me to have a child, but maybe. I'm single too and boyfriend isn't crazy about starting a family (he's 40 and no kids). I'm too tired some days to even take care of myself and my dog, so what would I do with a baby???? So, don't wait too long, but a good mate would be invaluable. I wish you peace of mind with this dilemma, but give things a little more time (maybe 1-2 years), before you consider going it alone, but that's just my opinion. You have to do what YOU feel is best. God bless you, AMY
