surgery yesterday - very bad endo/fertility news

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 - 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 do not go back for a post op appt until Monday. He also told my husband that we should consider in vitro - I would like to hear from anyone out there with severe endo that has undergone in vitro and what the results of same are - do you have children? How much does it cost? What questions should I ask my RE about in vitro 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? Please help me - I need some hope - Thanks.
