Confused for future fertility...

Hi,

So I'm not really sure how I feel at the moment, pretty confused and uncertain about my future and having children. I Was being tested for endo end of 2010, in 2011 I went for a laparoscopy and the results came back that it was severe then, at that point I had been with my now ex for a few years and wanted to know if I would be able to conceive naturally. Out of the blue a few months later I found out I was pregnant my daughter sadly had a lot of health problems and it will be the fourth anniversary of her death tomorrow. I've been in a lot more pain recently and it has been crippling so I think it has gotten worse. I work overseas but I coming back home in 10days and I have already booked an appointment with my doctor because I want another laparoscopy to see if it actually had got worse. I'm trying different pain meds too which help until it wears off.

Anyway my question is I am 26 I work abroad 10months out of the year so I do not want to try for a child again yet (plus I would actually need a man in my like) i am wondering if anyone else has thought of having here eggs frozen? On my last laparoscopy I had some endo in one of my tubes and ovaries not a lot but some so I am thinking of asking my doctor if it would be possible? Has anyone else asked or is it totally unrealistic of me?l

Any advice would be great thank you.

Hiya I don't know if some of my ideas can help. I had fertility problems for the last 15 years. I'm 43 with endo, 3 laparoscopic ops 4 IVFs and going for a number 5 with ovule donation starting this next Monday. I think to consult a fertility clinic if better more than one to compare opinions. I think you age is a great advantage and if I was you I will freeze my eggs. Sadly I didn't have that chance my endo was discovered at 32. However the treatment for egg retrival are really strong and something to considerate. Also having frozen eggs is not equal at future babies, the statistics are low,however If is possible can be and option. I will go for it with A full inform and a centred mind. Good luck
