I know that this may not be much help but adoption is also a wonderful
alternative if you can not have your own children. My husband is
adopted and if it wasn't for my mother in laws loss of her reproductive
organs I wouldn't have a wonderful husband. Things do happen for a
reason although it may take years to figure out that reason. I hope
that you are able to get the help that you need and live a wonderful
life. I was just told that the only way to take care of my endo was to
have a hysterctomy including my ovaries. I have medical issures that
make it so I can not take any of the medications for endo. I just got
the news yesterday. Still trying to come to terms with it. We are all
here because we ned the support of others who know what each other is
going through. Rhonda
