Having a baby is a huge deal!! It changes your life forever and it is a
major responsibility. If your husband does not want children, that is a
major problem. Are you prepared to raise the child by yourself if you
have to?
As far as the hysterectomy goes, it is your body. Don't do it unless
you are absolutely sure it is what YOU want to do. Also, many posts on
these boards say that endo does not go away with a hysterectomy.
best of luck to you.
