I'm a highschool student and I often have dreams of having a baby (not the process of it) and spending time with it. And in my dreams I usually have a baby girl and name her Ruth. When I wake up I always feel happy. The thing is in life I dream of having a family but my doctor says I have a higher risk then most women of that not happening. So I guess while its a double dream.

I want a baby too... all my friends are having babies this year (we're all about 23 and done with college).... BUT... I'm afraid I would be a horrible mother!!! It's my biggest fear!! What do the doctors say about your condition? Is it the type where they advise you should have babies sooner rather than later??

I don't want to turn into my mother. Thats my fear. I have endometriosis and I've had it since I was 12 and I'm 16. My doctor is watching it close because if I have it now...when I want kids how bad will it be then? Most likely worse. I have a friend who could never have kids due to it.

don't have a baby until you are truly ready to give up everything you are and do for a child. find as many harried moms as you can, and talk to THEM!

It's best to wait until you're old enough to have kids. Making it through your high school years is hard enough as it is, you don't want to add a baby into the equation. Children take a whole lot of time, effort, patience and most importantly money. Lots and lots of money! Enjoy your life and enjoy being a teenager. You don't want to be stuck at home when all your friends are out having fun.
On the other issue, though endometriosis may make it difficult to get pregnant, it's still possible to have children. I have a godmother who has it and she was able to have a child. It took a lot of years of trying but it eventually happened. It's not impossible, just harder.
I've read that there's surgery they can do that can remove growths and there's also fertility medications that you can take that will help with infertility. There's always In-vitro fertilization as well. I'm sure you're doctor can go over all of your options.

Ya I don't want a kid yet. Its just only of those things that when I wake up I'm happy. I don't plan on having kids until marriage. So I'm pretty much happy about that right now. I do worry about the future.
I talked to my doctor and he's all about drugs =( take this take that and see if it works, if not we'll do this and that. It sucks. I've had surgery already and I'm told I might have to have it every 3 to 5 yrs to make sure the endometriosis doesnt get worse. There are options that can help me but there isnt a cure. I have to live the rest of my life worrying about it....
