When I was 19 years old I was diagnosed with endometriosis, and I opted to have my uterus totally removed. I watched a loved one suffer so much with the same condition for so many years, and there was absolutely no way I was going to go through that myself. I was absolutely not going to resign myself to a lifetime of agony and being unable to work or go to school, it was simply out of the question for me.
To this day I am still pain free, so I have no regrets or second thoughts about my choice.
My husband knows all about it; I was completely honest with him and I told him even before we got married. He was completely accepting of it.
He said he would love for us have children, but only if and when I was ready. It's been a few years and I feel so ready now, I would love to have a child so much, even though I obviously cannot do so by myself.
We're open to any one of our options, even though the only two we are aware of are adoption or surrogacy. But honestly I'm not really sure which of those options are the most feasible, or would be considered the best for us. Can anyone offer me some advice? Who should we see to talk about what we should do?
