Hi,
I'm sorry that you're in this situation. It sucks that you are so young
and are put in the position to feel pressured to have another child. I
have never been pregnant, but hope to be lucky enough to experience
soon. We've been trying for over a year and I have had 2 laps in the
past 3 months to try to correct the problems my endo has caused.
I just wanted to warn you to be careful when using progesterone if
you're trying to conceive. It can actually prevent ovulation (and
therefore pregnancy) if taken at the wrong time.
Good luck and I hope that you find some clarity in the decisions that
you have to make. I hope that your husband is supportive and can help
you with this.
