I was in serious pain for two months before my GYN did exploratory surgery and found endo in the summer of 1999. I then found out both my Grandmother and aunt on my fathers side had endo. My gram had had it 4 times and has 4 children naturally. My aunt had had it 3 times and has 3 children naturally. I had Lupron (medically induced menopause) shots for a total of 2 years and then BC pills to keep from getting endo again. Then my husband and I had unprotected sex (didn't really discuss trying just seeing what might happen) for about a year. I had basically given up on the dream of having a child and therefore was not really thinking/stressing about it. Then I thought I had the flu and found out that in fact I was pregnant at 36yrs of age. My beautiful son was born July 5th, 2008 healthy and without complication (other than being approx. 1 week late and after 30 hours of labor). I am back on BC pills and have not had any flare ups to date. Yeah! So I say... "It can happen. Just "try" not to worry yourself too much about any of it!"
PS. My gram did tell me that because of her endo, sex was never enjoyable due to pain but after having her last child she had a complete hysterectomy and LOVED sex. (I know TMI from my gram but...) There is hope for Happy and Healthy days ahead no matter what!
