Have a baby?

[Domislingo]

I am 18 and have endometriosis. I was diagnosed about 2 years ago. I am in so much pain I never thought it would be this bad. I have been told my many people that the earlya you try for a baby the better the chances is this right?

Do I try now or wait some time

I'm 18 too and have had the same response. I personally want to try now as who knows whether it will take two months or two years, by the time I fall pregnant if I try when I'm older, it could be too late. Everyone except my dad and his family are on board so that is the only reason I'm not trying yet. I'm not really stable money-wise either as I'm a student about to go to uni next year. I really want a baby and I also want a career so its a catch 22 for me. In all honesty, no one knows an exact time frame on how long you've got left to conceive or how long it will take, it is down to you and when you think the time is right to start trying. Like I think it would be best for me to start after uni when I've got a stable Jo and am earning enough to support the family. If I went with my heart, Id have one tomorrow lol. Its entirely your choice and I wish you the best of luck whatever you choose.

Yeah I have no idea what to do as u said it could be hard to conceive. I don't have a job and have just Finnished college and not looking to go in to uni. Just find it hard as being young weather Togo for it or wait x

Hi guys,

I'm 20 and about to start trying for a baby. I'm married and we both really want children. I do appreciate the fear that it's really hard to conceive, my whole world revolves around having children and it terrifies me to think I wouldn't be able to have any naturally. However, there are other options to have a family and I would definitely not recommend trying to fall pregnant just because you may struggle later. You need to be with a person you want to be with forever, you'll be stuck with them for at least 18 years once you've had a kid together, and you need to feel at least something close to ready as well, especially financially. It's a massive thing to take on, so just make sure you're making the decision based on more than your illness. We have to be on top of the endometriosis, not the other way round.

Good luck to both of you with your treatment and families
