I have the same anxiety and worries --- and I'm only 21! I've always
really wanted kids and I'm about to have a lap to diagnose+remove endo
which has been causing me pain for +4 years. I am hoping for a positive
prognosis as far as fertility is concerned. So many of the women
(family + friends) that I've known that have gotten pregnant have gotten
that way on accident and sometimes I feel angry that they don't
appreciate how hard it is for some women and (could be) for me.
I try to pray about it and put my trust in God but at the same time I
still worry about it.
know that you're not alone!
