Preparing for laparoscopy

[28goingon29]

I’m booked in for my op and I’m so scared of the answers and my future with it. I’ve been waiting for this for so long and I’m at the age where I want kids. I’m so scared to hear if I can’t have kids and it’s mentally taking a huge toll on my life. All my friends are at this stage and living the life I so desperately want. What if I can’t have that?

Hey, not necessarily an answer but just wanted to comment to say I’m the exact same. I’ve struggled for 15 years. Finally have my laparoscopy date for beginning of December. We had a miscarriage in April. It’s been our only pregnancy. A lot of my friends are all having babies or pregnant.

I spoke to the endo nurse today and shared the same worries as you. She said these feelings are really normal to wonder about whether the laparoscopy will or won’t show endo and what happens if it does or doesn’t. She reassured me it’s normal for your mind to race with all these thoughts. Maybe see if you’ve got an endo nurse or someone similar on the team that you could have a chat with pre surgery

It’s truly awful isn’t it.

Sending you a hug and hope you can get some answers soon x
