endo pregnancy before hystorectomy

I am 22 in a very serious commited relationship, we want to get married but he wants to wait till my health is better and we desperatley want kids. I have severe deep tissue endo i have had surgries,birth control, lupron tried alternative health nothing has worked I am in constant pain. I have been told by 4 ob/gyn's that my next step is hysterectomy. I was wondering if I should go to an infertility specialist ttc and then get a hysterectomy. I want children of my own yet I can't keep living in all of this pain. I heard that getting pregnant will relieve the endo for a while. I have also had 2 ectopic and 4 misscarriages. I feel that I am not a normal woman who can wait for 10 years to have a family. I feel sooner is better for myself and my boyfriend. Is there any advice that someone can give me please?

I have also tried all the medications have had 3 laproscopies 2 with a year and am in need of another. I have a hard time functioning without pain pills. My doctor doesn't want to do another surgery since I just had one in Feb. He gave me 2 choices have a baby or get a hysterectomy and I am 23 yrs old. A hysterectomy is the last thing I want. My boyfriend and I are going to try to have a baby. My doctor put me on progesterone to start my periods again. He also mentioned that I may need help getting pregnant. He wants me to take a low dose fertility pill. I do not want to do that there is no way I could carry more than one baby with my size 5'3'' and 95 lbs. He said the most I would have would be 2 cause of my size but even scared about that. I am really hoping that I will be able to have my own children.

Have you lost weight with your endo? Or get sick after you eat?
I get sick after I eat I can only eat once a day and have lost 15 pounds. Also after I eat my belly gets huge. Does anyone have this same problem.
