hi there,

thank you so much for taking time and responding to me. I do have my both ovaries, uterus is tillted back but apears to be normal.My left ovary is enlarged, but dr does not seem concern about it.
My pain from endometriosis is painful, it hurts.when I walk for too long, or stand still., I could not work for a while.......some tissue still left around ureter, for more complicated removal. I also feel like my endometriosis spread around outside vagina close to rectum, but this time on left side.My laparo was on right side.
It's just frustrating...... this disease is like never ending pain....and drs are so slow here!!!!...
It's so helpful to know that there are some people like you, who completely understand what I am talking about, my friends don't..............You have made my day when I read your respond......thank for your prayers......I felt good energy......sending good energy and prayers to you too!!!  Asta

I'm in the same boat as you .. 42 never had kids, thought I might in the next 2 years BUT  just had my left ovary removed due to endo being attached to all organs in there and the ovary being enlarged and having a huge endometrioma on it.  I have been told I have to have a hysterectomy as other ovary is a mess with endo as well attached to the bowel, fallopian tube, uterus like the one removed plus i have a huge fibroid in my uterus pressing on my rectum.

I've been grieving and crying when I feel like it .. that's all I can recommend, just work through it bit by bit.

Are you sure you can't get pregnant though?  You don't mention if you've had your ovary or uterus removed and have to have the other ovary removed?  I have read many stories of women with severe endo who still fell pregnant so unless you have to have a hysterectomy there is still some hope, no matter how small.  The forum hystersisters is excellent as it has a whole section on endometriosis and how women have dealt with it through hysterectomy or other means.  Take a look and I do understand how you're feeling.  It's a very hard thing to come to terms with as a woman.

Look after yourself and don't be afraid to cry when you need to

Prayers sent your way.
