Adenomyosis

[prlh2000]

Hello all!

I am a 35 year old mother of two beautiful girls - 8 & 5 - and feel very blessed to have them. Being a single parent for several years I thought for sure I was never going to have any other children (by choice). However, I met the most amazing man ever and we began dating in early February 2006 and quickly decided this was the man I want to be with for the rest of my life.

In April 2006 I was referred to a specialist and diagnosed with uterine polyps and possibly (90% sure at that time) adenomyosis. I was offered hysterectomy but declined because the man I love so much has no children of his own and had told me he wanted to get married and have at least one child of his own someday. Besides that, I reall wasn't sure I wanted to take such a drastic step and lose such a huge part of my womanhood. I had surgery to remove the polyps (three of them) and a few small spots of endometreosis. I felt great after the surgery!

Two years and four months after my surgery (December 2008) I feel like I am going to die. I hurt so bad so often - on a daily basis - that I just want to curl into a ball and stay in my bed all day. This makes it very difficult to do even every day activities. My house is a disaster along with every other aspect of my life (work, college, motherhood, girlfriend, family member, etc.).

I decided to visit my specialist again on December 12th. He flat out told me that we want a baby "we had better do it now". I didn't ask him to ellaborate as know what he means just by how I am feeling these days. We've decided to try for a baby, but honestly, getting a hysterectomy never sounded so good as it does right now

Hi - just wondering how you are going with trying to concieve after you were told to start trying by your Dr?
