i have also been trying for two years, i have constant pain and i weird gurgling in my abdomen 24/7. last month i had a period that lasted only 3 days, i was so happy and relaxed during those few days - i cannot remember the last time i had such an easy period. usually my period lasts for 10 - 11 days, and once i bled for over 21 days.9 but i believe it was the stress of my previous job) do you by any chance experience the grumbling in you abdomen? i truly wish you all the luck and i want to thank you for your msg.

The doctors say that i will always have this condition and that they can only help with the pain and nothing more. my cousin had it as well, however hers was removed and she fell pregnant. i am now 35 and the pain is just getting worse. i was put on xoladex, which had terrible side effects. the only good thing about xoladex was that i never had a period for a whole entire year.i am afraid that time is running out, but i try to be positive and my hubby allows me to feel sorry for myself for only 5 minutes a day ( ha ha ha) he believes that we will have our baby and that it will happen very soon. you are young and time is on your side, so i hold thumbs for you and thank you for the message.

Hi, I have serve endo as well, but I was able to have 4 children and 4 miscarriages. I think it all depends on where your endo is located, but I have been able to get pregnant real easy. I hope you the best

Endometriosis doesn't mean you are infertile, although that is the outcome that usually happens. My doctor confirmed last week that I had it and he removed most of it. I have been dealing with severe pain now for 5 years (When my period started), but the doctor told me I was still fertile, and will be for a while unless it gets worse. Endometriosis can make you infertile, but not always, and as long as it is monitored and taken care of, for a while, you can preserve your fertility. My aunt was able to have 2 children with endometriosis before she became infertile.

I am just worried that I will become infertile before I am ready to have children. I am only 17 and my boyfriend and I don't plan on trying for a baby until we're both out of school and living together, but it looks like I may have to change my plans so I can be sure I will be able to have children.
