I just went through this with my husband last week. I had surgery a little over a week ago...started worrying as soon as I found out how bad things were. The endo advanced rapidly in a year's time since my first surgery a year ago. My hubby and I have never really wanted kids and now I feel frantic...crying watching TLC's a baby story..talk about self torture. I talked to my husband about it the other night. I think it made me feel better just to say it out loud. More than anything I've had to really remind myself everyday to just take each day as it comes...which is so not easy for me, being the consumate planner/control freak. There are some things that you just can't plan, but talking to your husband and making some decisions about where your priorities are right now may help you feel like the two of you are more in charge of this decision. I'm still worried that waiting will be a mistake, but I also know that if we do decide to do it, I want it to be for the right reasons-not out of fear. Alyson
