I have been suffering from sever endo since I was a teen. Got diagnosed at 18 & now at 24 we have run out of options to treat me with.
I honestly don't know how I feel about having kids so can't make any decision that would affect my fertility. But am feeling really lost at the moment to be honest.
I am on anti- depressants due to the level or hormone's in my system which is just to balance them out so to speak. I got the Mirean coil removed in Sept 09 as I was bleeding right through & I've only stopped bleeding in the last month. They've recently now discovered a cyst on my left ovary which has to be checked on in a few weeks & to be honest I feel like I'm going around in circles with this disease.
I can't have a normal sex life. My partner is extremely understanding obviously as I'm only young I want to be able to make love with my partner on a regular basis & not just when the endo allows it or when the bleeding has stopped. I mean my bleeding also consists of blood clots measuring up to 6 inches in some cases.
I guess I would just like to know if anyone out there has a similar problem & would like to talk please?
P.s. I've tried every drug, herb & surgery that was handed to me to no avail. Nothing has worked for me. The only thing that has been suggested is to go have a child as at least I would have nine months free from the endo. The surgeon is not willing to touch my ovaries with regard to taking either on as this will cause it's on problems by throwing me straight into the menopause which I had a taste of from my rounds of Decapeptyl. Not nice as I'm sure anyone who has been on those injections will tell you.
I can;t even think if I want a family. I kind of would like children & think about it more often now than now, but were not in a good enough financial place at the moment for that to happen.
If there is anyone out there who would like to talk to me please do.
I really could do with some outside opinion on this. I know I'm not the only woman to ever have suffered endometriosis. My Mother's entire family suffered it. All seven girls ended up having hysterectomies! So I do realise the situation I'm in or facing in the next 10 years or so.
Please I would love to hear from anyone who thinks they can help or even share their own experience.

Anti-depressants do not help you with your hormones.
Mirena is progestin, which is a synthetic hormone, and depletes progesterone.
Progesterone will help you with some pain and some heavy bleeding.
you need to get a free consult with a surgical expert. Look into changing your diet.
if sex is painful, then wait until you have relief!
a hysterectomy will not solve endo, endo is outside the uterus
