This has struck close to home for me. I say if you are okay without having birthed children I see no issue with it. For me I want the experiences of carrying my own child and I fear that if I can't provide my husband with a child he will leave because I know that he wants one. I wouldn't dare call you selfish because your life is important too. Also you could always adopt or foster there are so many loving children who need homes!

do whats right for you hun, its difficult but im sure youll make the right decision.... and honestly theres someone out there for everyone, youll find a soulmate that will love you for you and it wont matter if you can have children or not they will love you for you nothing else and if they dont find someone who will, your an endo warrior strong beautiful and youve got this, sending hugs x

It’s a really hard decision you have to make, doing the best for you’re health is paramount. I feel for you, and hope you are at peace with whatever you choose.

I don't think it's selfish. I am 26 and me and my husband have had to talk about this. We both want kids.... But I don't feel like I can have children with this level of pain. I feel it would be unfair on my husband to look after the kids... And me.
Now I know a lot of women do both. And i honestly think they are heros. But I know I myself can't do it.
This is your decision and only you can make it. I know lots of men who don't want kids. I even have a female friend who is perfectly healthy and she has choosen not to have kids.
But please do know that hysterectomies are not a cure. Many women have them and still have endo. But I know some are lucky and get out.
Everything we choose to do, surgery, hormones and painpills all havd side effects. It just about picking the ones you think you can handle :)

Also, not being able to bear children (whether that was your choice or not) has no bearing on your ability to be a great mother if you so choose. There are so many methods and even if you are meant to be a mother, you weren’t put here in this earth to be a baby maker just because you’re a woman. Take the time you need to make the right decision. And in terms of what men will think of you, first off, fuck it haha and second, luckily more and more people are choosing to not consciously bring children into the world these days. You have lots and lots of options :)
