surgery yesterday - very bad endo/fertility newsFrom: Angel (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Feb 2 15:28:14 1999
Hello Everyone, I had my 2nd lap. yest. and unfortunately received news that has devestated me. My RE came to the waiting room and told my husband that he has never seen so much endo in one person - that he can only imagine just how horrific my periods must be (finally, someone who believes me) - but he told my husband that there was so much endo that he could not remove it b/c the surgery would take 6 to 7 hours and it would be to high risk to my organs and for internal bleeding - so I guess I have three choices, live with the pain, try anything and everything to get pregnant or have a hystorecotomy - which I refuse to even think about at this point - I do not want to try Lupron. He also told my husband that he really did not see any chance of us ever conceiving a child naturally b/c of the extent of the endo. He said he could not believe we got pregnant last year (we had a miscarriage). I feel so empty - like all my hopes for children are going down the drain. I have not had a chance to speak with my RE - other than his brief stop in the recovery room which I can barely remember. I do not go back for a post op appt until Monday. He also told my husband that we should consider invetro - I would like to hear from anyone out there with severe endo that has undergone invetro and what the results of same are - do you have children? How much does it cost? What questions should I ask my RE about invetro when I go in on Monday. I believe my insurance co. does not pay for this and I know it is very costly - but what price can I put on the desire for a child? My husband and I are both from big catholic families and we have always wanted lots of kids... now I feel like I would be so happy if I could just have one - and I feel selfish even thinking of having two - I know there is adoption - which we thought we might do even if we had our own - but I want to at least try to have one myself before I totally give up hope of getting pregnant again. Please help me - I need some hope - Thanks.
