I really want to have a nother baby, my son is 4 yrs old and i believe that i'm ready, i dream about babies all the time and i go nuts over seeing little babies in the grocery store. my only problem is, i think i may have endometriosis and i know this can cause infertility. i am only 23 and don't think i can handle a doctor teling me i can never have another child, it will absolutely devestate me. i love my son to peices and he deserves to have a sibling to grow up with. i feel like a failure as a woman. its always been my dream to have two kids and i feel that i'm being cheated. i loved being pregnant and want more that anything to experience that wonderful feeling at least once more time in my life - -scared and alone

You should go see your doctor. I know you may not want to hear what he has to say, but you just might get some good news, and some advice.
the alternative is just keep trying.
If it was meant to be, it will be.
Best of luck to you.

Endometriosis is quite common for women now days. I read that about 5.5 million women in North America alone have endometriosis. About 30 percent to 40 percent of women with endometriosis are infertile, making it one of the top three causes for female infertility.
However, endometriosis-related infertility is often treated successfully using hormones and surgery.
Unless you have stage 4 endometriosis then I wouldn't worry to much without 1st talking to your doctor. A year after I had my 2nd son I found out I had endrometriosis. I had a laporoscopy and now (another year later) I am pregnant with my 3rd son.
Here is a site that will tell you more about it

Whoa hold up there!
You think you may have endometriosis,but you dont know for sure...You need to go and get this backed up or not before you even start to feel like a failure..Also just because you have endometriosis doesnt mean you can not have kids..Women all the time are having kids..Actually my sister in law has it and she just found out she was pregnant again..She has a 2 yr old now..So hang in there and be optomisitc about it..
Good Luck!!

Go to the doctor and get tested I know some cases of endometriosis can be treated and lead to a sucessfull pregancy. Not knowing will cause you more stress then knowing and as even if you cant exprience being pregant again you can look into other options to have another child. Also be thankful for you son some never get to experience the feeling you got having him.

I have endo & I am currently pregnant with my 2nd child. Both my children were conceived on IVF because the endo blocked both my tubes. They can treat endometriosis surgically and you may be able to fall pregnant naturally again otherwise they may suggest IVF to you. the chances of falling pregnant on IVF are pretty good if you have already had a child. Don't give up - it is amazing what modern medicine can do for you.

if you really want another one then by almeans see the doctor and find out my daughter also had endo and she had 2 beautiful daughters so don't wait to find out and don't ever feel yourself a failure after all you are raising a son

So, it's not even about the child... it's about the PREGNANCY state...? If it's actually about the kid, then adopt one. Go for population control...
