Ok I have been wondering about this for a while, it is a little difficult so here it goes.
I have a genetic medical condition known as Endometriosis wich in a nutshell means the lining of my uteris grows out of control. Well with this condition comes a smaller window in wich I can have children. I am 21 and by the time I am 24-25 my chances will be around 50% and by the time I am 27-28 I will be around 15%. I am dating a wonderful guy right now but we have not been together that long (he is 23). I have mentioned my condition but no %'s or stats like I am giving you right now.
My question is; I would like to bear at least one child of my OWN in my life and would need to do it a little sooner than most women. I don't want to oops get pregnant, I want it to be planned. How do you break someting like that to a guy? That within the next 4 years you NEED to have a baby or else may not be able to.
What would scare a guy more, that you have to have a baby sooner or may not be able to?

I also have Endo. I am 23 and have 3 kids of my own. I think that my chances would be slimmer if I had waited longer but I was told that I'd probably never have kids.Suprize! I was pregnant with my first the first month we started trying. My first two are 2 yrs 3 weeks apart and my last came when my second was 21 months old. Lets put it this way, the doctors can be wrong..it happened for me. Besides if you do need help in the future with getting pregnant....the technology is there for that. Best of luck for now and the future.

as a sufferer of endometriosis who underwent surgery to have it scraped off, I sugggest you go for it now. If your bf does not want the responsibility, perhaps out of love he will accommodate you! Good, good luck to you!

i went thru this with my ex, she was honest and i was cool with it, she had to get a shot called lupron, which put her into menapause that was tough on her mentally, she almost lost her mind , i felt bad at times for her.but it did clear the endo! if you like someone enough to want to have a kid with em you should be able to tell them anything! can you answer my question for me? add me to your friends
