Hey , so sorry to hear of this.
Be sure to know that even though it's gets lonely, we are all here with you emotionally if not physically.
I myself undergone certain procedures and fertility issues from age 17 to 19. I had to make the choice of trying to have a baby at 20.
Fortunately for me it was around the time that I met my husband and so we made the hardest choice for us to get married and try to have a baby. Keep in mind this was 27 plus years ago. I wish they could have taken my eggs and keep them until I was mentally ready.
You are not alone just know this. There are many crazy stories due to endo, and the things we have to endure by ourselves.
Please reach out at any time.
Hang in there. Good luck and keep smiling 💛
Sending you all the love and if it's any consolation you're not alone. Congratulations for putting yourself out there!
