If You’ve Had Endometriosis For Over 4 Years, Is Your Infertility Rate Higher?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Elizabethtown, PA

I was first diagnosed at age 13 or 14. I’m going on 21 now and I’m concerned about this. I want to have kids but I don’t know if I should plan sooner rather than later. Thanks in advance!

Ladies my stuff startes at 13 as well. I am now 30 and have to miracle babies. You need to talk to your doctors and see what they say. My advice to you is if you truly want kids and you believe that sooner is better for you then plan accordingly. I had a gut feeling that if i did not have kids by 25 i wouldn't have any. Come to find out i was right. At 23 my doctor had to do emergency surgery to take my female stuff out. It was bad. All i have left is one ovary. You have to do what is best for you. Hugs and loves and support from me

Katherine is correct. I believe the only reason i had both of mine is because of the 2 surgeries that happen before i got pregnant and a little luck. Do what is best for you love.

Thank you! Like Samantha said, I just have the gut feeling. I’m only going on 21 years old but feel like I should be planning to have a baby in the next year or so because of Endo.
