yes which is one of the reasons my kids are 16 yrs apart.

I got enough pain already..if I ever find a decent guy..I'm gonna adopt

im in enough pain as well, but having a baby would be worth it if my pain worsened, my dream is to have a baby

What kind of pain are you in Debbie? Pregnancy and even childbirth itself cause a lot of changes in your body that will actually help some conditions. My mothers disorder would go into remission when she was pregnant. Look into that, you may find out it could be healthful for you. If so, it would take some of the fear out of it for you.

is it that bad???

Pregnancy usually cures endometriosis.

ive got endometriosis, and ive got bladder problems, im waiting for surgery

I've had surgery for Endometriosis, you'll be amazed how fast the pain stops! My doctor told me that the tissue dies down during pregnancy enough that it often doesn't come back. I was told to get pregnant when they discovered mine...but the Doctor was not willing.

ive had the surgery about 8 times, and all the surgery failed.

Really? OMG, Debbie, I'm so sorry! Same Doctor every time? Is it not successful or implanting more too fast? That's terrible!

I went to the best and most experienced endoscopic OBGYN I could find for my condition and went to Bismark ND for my surgery. If it would be possible to use him, I'll dig up his info for you. I've been Endometriosis free for 12 years now. Let me know if I can help. I know the kind of pain you're in.

they have burnt it, cut it out, and it still come back everytime, also now im covered in scar tissue and adhesions which makes my pain ten times worse.

There's a film that they coated my abdominal wall with after the surgery that is made to allow the tissue to heal without scaring or adhesions. I don't know what he called it, but it was a brand new thing back then...surly much more available now. This is supposed to be the main reason for mine never retuning. Ask your surgeon if he knows about this film (it's like a disintegrating cheese cloth) and if he'll use it. The record speaks for itself...no children and 12 years with no re occurrences.

im in the uk, so we might not use that film, but i will ask him about it, thankyou

I hope they have something else to help you hon...that's no way to have to go through life. You're a strong strong woman Debbie that's all I know! I had bad adhesions too...they crushed an ovary and tube that had to be removed as well. As far as childbirth pain.. you'll be a little more desensitized to the pain than most. I wouldn't worry too much. That's what my Doc told me anyway. He said that for me childbirth would feel like really bad gas.

i am finding it hard to cope with the pain, and at the moment the pain is really bad, and the demerol and df118 arnt touching the pain. i may have to go through life like this

Have you tried any alternative methods of pain relief...I do acupuncture and massage for a shoulder injury right now that keep me med free. When I had abdominal pain, warm cod liver oil compresses cut the pain a lot! My family is a little old school, so that may sound strange, but a couple of times a day for 20 min and you might be pleasantly surprised. Also, instead of heat...ice pac on both lower back and abdomen, but not too long or it has the reverse effect. No more than 15 min if they're really cold. Just cover up in a blanket so the rest of you stays warm. I'm so sorry you're hurting so bad....my heart goes out to you. Wish I could do something.

thanks for the advice, ive told myself that ill be in pain for life and on pain meds for life.

Awww Debbie! Look back at how far you've come with it and remember how strong you can be. One day at a time and enjoy your good days as much as you can. You can't do it until you have your children, but they can induce menopause, which stops it in it's tracks. You will have more options when you're a little older...or if you make it to menopause, you're home free! Just remember that...when you're older it will pass. They promise!
