So I have just had a laparoscopy and I have stage 4 endometriosis, I’m so so devastated, I have not stopped crying. It wasn’t the outcome I was hoping for.

So my gynaecologist has said its on my ovaries a little bit, back of my womb and has attached my bowl to the womb. I will be seeing him in two weeks to go through things further. He has said that I will be referred to an Endometriosis specialist in London or a local hospital, to discuss further treatment.

He said that my ovaries and tubes are all clear and healthy, so I could still fall pregnant without the treatment but it’s just gonna be harder than the average couple. If not then it will be <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> for us.

Literally don’t know what to feel or how to feel about this news. Just feel so devastated that the chance of having a baby is now further away than I had hoped.

The surgeon (my gynaecologist) said I was quite unique. He said for stage 4 endo I have been coping quite well with the pain. And the thing is when I read the symptoms of endo stage 4 mine are not horrendous. I was only eh killed to 10 years so was none the wiser I had it until now. It was only about six months after I stopped taking the pill I had a few months of horrible period pains for two days and constipation, but that’s it nothing that was to unbearable. And for the last 3/4 months I haven’t had any pains or constipation mood my period. And if I did get one I would take paracetamol and it would go, like a normal period pain. I don’t get any other symptoms throughout the month.

I’m just really worried now about falling pregnant and if I will even though they have said I can it’s just gonna be difficult.

How did you girls cope with your diagnosis? And have you managed to have children naturally?
