Hey girls, been struggling to stay positive as I know loads of people also are in my position but I have finished my 3 months of zoladex after having surgery to remove my endo in November, my last injection was at the start of January and in beginning to get stomach cramps back again and I'm starting to panic, although I really want my period back so I can start trying for a baby I'm worried about all the emotions and scared that the pains are going to be just the same, I know everyone goes through the same things when trying for a baby and the disappointments each month but I really don't know how I'm going to deal with it and how I can stop myself getting more depressed! Its taking over my life and I can't get it out of my head! Wanting a children is all I've ever wanted out of life I never wanted a fancy car, job or home just always wanted to be a mum and for it not to happen is my biggest fear in life 😟 any advice would be great ladies. Xxx

Hi there I don't quite know what to say to makes things better other than take each day at a time expect bad days but get through them knowing tom may be far better.in the last 9 months I've been diagnosed with severe endo,bladder doesn't work no more(self Cathetarise) bowels do what want,cons pain,failed IVF bla bla bla.do u know what I do take each day at a time, bury my head in sand some days,drug myself up (legal kind ha) & drag myself into work to forget.i know it's easier said than done n I cry no doubt like everyone else on this forum (part when those period pains start) but you don't know what round corner & never say never to kids,miracle endo babies happen all the time. Good luck sending big hugs (they make me feel better ha) loux

Don't despair chick. I had a 6 month course of zoladex a couple of years ago. Had my last zoladex in May 2013 found out I was pregnant in the August and now have a beautiful 10 month oldbaby girl. Apparently it's quite common to fall pregnant after having zoladex. I hope this gives you a little bit of hope. Stay strong xxx

How long did it take for your period to return if you can remember? I just had my last injection at the start of January and its a weird feeling actually wanting my period to hurry and return ha. How are you feeling now after your pregnancy etc, congratulations on your baby x

My period wasn't really back to normal that's why I didn't think I was pregnant for a long time thought I was just under the weather lol. Pregnancy was great I felt fantastic during it. I have just started to get endo pains again but in different places to before. Awaiting a lap to see if it has spread. Xx
