Diagnosed and depressed...From: Jackie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri Aug 31 15:12:36 2007
I have just been officially diagnosed with severe endometriosis and I'm only 23 years old. I had my lap last week and was informed that my left ovary and fallopian tube is completely covered in scar tissue (& lesions) and it could not be repaired during the procedure. Now I have to see a fertility specialist in Victoria to see if HE can repair the damage, and if not I could be looking at the removal of the ovary and tube. I'm trying to come to terms with the possible worst case scenario, but it all seems so surreal to me... I don't have any children yet, and I defenitely want them, but now I don't know how possible that's going to be for me. I'm scared. I want to be able to live the life I always dreamed of, with the husband, children and happy home... but now it's like everything I ever wished for is being waved in front of my face and I have no way of grasping it. My heart is breaking at the thought of not being able to have children of my own, everyone I know around me is pregnant, or has kids already... I'm so jealous and angry I could shout it from my rooftop and spit in my friends' faces for complaining about how their kids take up all their time etc. They have no idea how lucky they are... I'm sitting here recovering from my 1st surgery's pain, I know there will be more, and the pain of childbirth could be the one I'll never know.
