I'm here because someone invited me. She thought my story might give someone else hope. Maybe it will...
My husband and I were trying for a baby. After a few months we were blessed to find out that I was in fact pregnant!
At 6wks I had a pain that wouldn't even let me stand or sit. We went directly to the E.R. It was a Sunday, so when they couldn't find anything wrong with me they called the "ON-call" Dr. The Dr. said she would have to "go in and
take a look", and of course this would put our baby at risk. We didn't have a choice.
When I woke up I found out that there was no more baby, and I now only had one tube. Then she (Dr.) told me about my Endometriosis (it had already connected to my other organs). The "good" news was that the surgery worked, I'm alive, the tube ruptured and I could have died. And while she was "in there" she scraped all the Endo she could see. No guarantee it would work, but this was our best chance.
She was surprised we got pregnant in the first place, but told me that if we wanted to have children we HAD to get pregnant WITHIN the next 6months, if we waited even 1yr we would never have a family of our own.
We got pregnant in six weeks! Even though I had only one tube, we Had our first child!
I know Endometriosis will always be an issue, so we are having our children back to back so it won't have much time to grow. I'm pregnant with our third, and the other two are still in pampers, oh well! Sometimes you do get what you pray for, just not the way you planned. They say beggars can't be choosers. So we'll take WHO we can get!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep hope, sometimes it's all you have!
