Lori, I am so sorry you are having a bad day. Endo sure brings lots of them doesn't it? I hope you can find some comfort and support on the forum. It has been a huge comfort to me in the several years I have posted (off and on as I have time to check in) and I know that I can always find a friend or someone else who understands my experiences. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to have a husband who doesn't want or try to understand. Luckily mine does, but I still live with the fear that one day he will wake up and decide he doesn't want a "defective" wife. Some men just don't get it. Maybe this will help: Ask your husband how he would feel if someone was constantly kicking him in the nuts! (pardon the frankness if it offends anyone). I have related my endo pain like that to male friends who think I am making it up and to a couple Doctors who told me it was all in my head. Don't know if they got it or not, but made me feel a lot better to spout off!

Sadly, endo can affect pregnancy but not for everyone, so hopefully it won't for you. Many women with endo get pregnant. My next-door-neighbor was told she had less than a %10 chance of ever having children and she has two boys now, both naturally with no infertility treatments.

Hang in there sweetie! There are wonderful women on this forum and we can all relate and understand. If I had not found this board several years ago, I would probably be in an institution somewhere! Feel free to email me direct if you ever want a shoulder or a friend.

Hugs! Keep your chin up!!! Things WILL get better! The one good thing about endo is it makes you one heck of a strong woman!!
