I found out that I was infertile in 2011 after my left ovary was removed. I was sad, in a way, but at the same time I was relieved because it meant that my surgeon could no longer refuse to remove my other ovary. I did not/do not view my infertility as a loss because I try to remember that there is a reason I am unable to pass on my genes. I didn't "lose" anything, I only became aware of something that was already true. I was infertile before I found out.

I always wanted to have a biological child and it was a big adjustment when I found out that would never be possible. However, I realized that it meant I was meant to be an adoptive mother.

Hang in there.

He told me I have a "terribly severe" case of endo. Have had three surgeries since December to clean it up.

I'm so surprised your doctor would suggest that so young. My doc is the opposite. Very reluctant to do a hysterectomy.

Im 33 and newly married. I wasn't ready for children before. And now it may be too late.

I am also facing the fact that my fertility is quickly diminishing, if it hasn't already. My doctor is suggesting a hysterectomy to me already, and I just officially got diagnosed with endo back in December of 2017. =/ Hang in there! A lot of my family also has tons of children and such as well.

I am possibly facing infertility as well. It is definitely not easy at all. My heart goes out to you.
