Isn't it ironic

Endo has made me infertile but has given me a belly that looks like I'm constantly pregnant.

Just so ironic.

If it is constant and not bloating that goes up and down, it could be a cyst or fibroid causing it. I am so distended (constantly) that I had to buy new clothes as none fit my bump... And my coat won't do up.

I thought it was the endo causing it (although I did find that strange as previously that caused episodes of bloating/distension that would go up and down... Not constant). Then on a scan they found a cyst, after that burst I had a laparoscopy and they have found an unexpected fibroid growing out of my womb wall, which the surgeon will remove later. I was hoping the lap would rid me of the preggers look, but no! I too am childless and I feel ridiculous looking pregnant like this. It almost hurts mentally... Like a false pregnancy!
