Bit of a back story, I was diagnosed with endometriosis at 19 and had it removed in September last year but was set back just before Christmas by having to have emergency surgery for a ruptured cyst on my right ovary that was leaking into my abdomen.
Right now it feels like it will never happen. I know I am only 24, and I should just relax and it will happen but how is it possible when it just feels like setback after setback. I finally get on my feet after the initial surgery and we start trying and end up having to be admitted to hospital for more surgery. Right now I am bawling my eyes out because yet again I have ANOTHER painful period. I feel like my heart is breaking because even though I know it will take time, that it feels like it will never happen to me. I've always thought that I was made to be a mum and yet life (and my body) are laughing at me. It hurts to know that I am going to struggle to have a baby and it hurts even more when I see women who don't even want children or children themselves who aren't ready themselves having children so easily.
I think I just need reassurances that it will happen. I think I just need to hear success stories from women who have been through it that it does get better and also tips and tricks to maybe help conceive?

Its hard and in my experience it doesn't get easier until bub is here. I have different problems but my SIL has same as you, she had 3 ops to clean it out and then went on injections to stop periods until she was ready for Baby to stop it rebuilding. Once she was ready the drs put her on clomid to help her conceive before more damage done. Have you looked into that with drs? 3 mths and she fell.
Everyone's different but that might be an idea. Good luck
it took me 10 months to fall with my first. My sister however wasn't so lucky. She had IVF for her first, then fell naturally with the other two. The doctor told me allow two years, I fell in 10months
My friend had severe endometriosis. Her chinese dr put her on treatment and when the specialist told her she wasnt having babies without hormone injections she was actually just a few days pregnant!
