Hi Ladies:
Just wanted to let you know that I can totally sympathize with you. My
husband and I have a wonderful 2-year-old son and are currently trying
to get pregnant again. I am 28 and was diagnosed with endo at age 16. I
have had 4 lap surgeries and continue to have symptoms. I got off the
pill (which controlled my symptoms) 9 months ago and every month that
goes by the symptoms get worse. We are hoping that this will be the
month :)
Best of luck to you all,
Heather M.
