Understanding options, when ur told ur unlike to ever be able to have your own children

[Lottie_14]

After feeling unwell for a while again, I knew it was my endo, which has, despite some Drs opinions caused me huge issues with my tummy & bowel movements. I went to see my GP who referred me back to my consultant. Given my age and having already had 4 ops for endo we decided it was important to complete a fertility test.

Yesterday I got my results. Thinking my egg count was likely to be low’ish and facing the fact I’d probably have to proceed to have a baby alone - not having met a partner yet. I was prepared to do it alone however I was completely unprepared for the results I was given!

Only 2.1 grade of eggs left, and I was told highly unlikely to ever conceived natrually, possibly via #IVF, but advised the quality of the eggs left wouldn’t be good, so I’d be at high risk of miscarrage or a baby with problems.

In addition to this deverstating news, the fact I was likely to go into early menapause in the next 5 years.

I’m only 38, I know that’s not that young but certainly feels it to receive this news. I’m completely lost and don’t know where to turn.

I’ve never been one for taking the first answer, so feel I should see specialists in London. But I honestly just don’t know what to do. I know sitting around and crying will do no good, but even trying to take this in - feels totally life changing.

Any advice would be massively appreciated.
