I was diagnosed with endometriosis and it is a big pain in the back side. Not only is there severe discomfort throughout the month but there is also the threat of not being able to have children and to have to keep trying and trying again, knowing that your heart may be broken again. Does anyone else have any infertility problems?

Have you been trying for a long time to have children? I have 2 friends who were told they may not be able to have children with endometriosis, one was so severe she needed multiple surgeries. Anyways they both got pregnant. One got pregnant on her first try, and the other one it took 4 years but she did.
As for me, I suffer from recurrent miscarriages with no know cause. I think I need to give up. This is a form on infertility but so hard because I can get pregnant but my body doesn't hold pregnancy. it is heartbreaking and has changed my whole personality and my life and affected my marriage.

have they not tried to give you medication to change your blood? and i think they can sometimes put a stitch in. Sometime when you dont realise that you are pregnant it sticks. I know plenty of people that have given up and got pregnant.
Good luck, I hope you dont give up.
I havent actually tried having a child yet as i am only twenty but i would like to think that i dont have to go through too much turmoil and heartbreak like other people do

Hi, yes of course I have done the medication. I have been under the strict control and help of more than 4 specialists for 2 years...I hate to tell you but sometimes there is no answer...sometimes no matter what you do, things just don't work out.

infertility can be coped with positive energy. if somebody is positive about it he can be fertile but in your case you got to be more positive.

Sorry but that is the stupidest and most ignorant thing that I have ever heard. Infertility is a disease and it is completely and totally emotionally debilitating for the person who suffers from it. You suggestion sounds like some new age solution that has worked for one or 2 people in the past, but it's not fair to say that to someone who is truly suffering. If you came down with cancer would it feel right if someone else told you to just lighten up? and think positively?

Mayshoe, I just reread my response to you. I'm very sorry that I called your response stupid and ignorant. I'm very embarrassed now and wish I could delete my response, but I guess it's there forever. Infertility is a very painful thing for me and I get very oversensitive. I'v heard all the things that people say and sometimes I just get so mad, but it's not fair. I'm very sorry.

I suffered from it before they knew what it was for 20 years. It was very hard to have a baby, but I did at 22. Then I ended up with a hysterectomy at 30, because it was so bad, I could not live like that anymore. The longer you have it, the harder it is to conceive.

I sincerely hope that you are able to have children but if ultimately you are not able to adoption is not a bad alternative. There are a lot of children out there that need families. Take care and God bless.

i dont personally but my girlfriend does and i know it affects her sometimes. She has been dreaming of becoming a mother since she was about twelve and she is so amazing with children. She found out the other week that her little brother has accidently got his girlfriend pregnant and i know it felt like a really big knife had just taken out her stomach. She cant even look at a baby without a tear coming to her eyes. She is only 20 but doctors have said that its basically now or never and she isnt financially ready to give a child all it could ever need. She has just made the biggest decision of her life and she has been so brave

I had problems getting pregnant with my second child, I had to take medicines to get me to ovulate, so I completely understand your hurt and frusteration!! It is really hard to face it each month hoping against hope that you will be pregnant, just keep upbeat and try not to lose hope!!
