Endometriosis

So I’ve wanted to have kids since I was 8 and I’m almost 16 and got told a few months ago I had endometriosis.  I understand it’s not impossible to have kids but it’s harder than it is without it and it broke me because all I’ve ever wanted to be is a mother. I fully support adoption but I want to carry that baby and feel it move and have the ultrasounds and go through excruciating labour.

Before I was put on the pill I was getting my period every week for like three days and my cramps are unbearable. Sometimes I can’t move or breath it hurts so much, but life goes on and there are many other ways.
