Hi, all! I am new to this group! I saw an infertility specialist last summer after TTC for a year and a half. That's when I was diagnosed with endo (also low progesterone and hypothyroidism). My biggest "symptom" is infertility. I realize I am lucky to not really have much physical pain.
I'm still learning all about this disease, and networking with other women who know what it's like has really been a comfort and a support to me!
I am looking forward to getting to know some of you more!

    I had stage 4 Endometrosis to severity. My husband and I tried for several years but just didn't happen. It was a very hard decision but had gotten a total hysterectomy. I feel like a new person now. I suffered with my endometrosis especially with the large pelvic masses plus the adhesions were causing problems with my other organs. With them all tangled together. It was a very hard decision to make with having the hysterectomy because my husband and I wanted children. But I guess God has other plans for us. It is still a struggle on a daily basis. But hopefully I will get stronger as the time goes by. Its like a grieving process. I am here if you need to talk. Because I can totally relate.

    I was 24 when my doctor wanted me to get a full hysterectomy and I refused to do it. I found a endocrinologists far away from my home but she was able to remove my cysts for me at that time. She suggested I try and have children ASAP & put me on Clomid for a 6 months. However, it didn't work for me and I took myself off of it when me and my x broke up. I' m Constantly exhausted and in pain. But don't want to go thru with the hysterectomy. IDK just hoping the right person will come along.
