When I read this post I was shocked.  I didn't know how to reply to this subject.

When I first got married I thought that I would never even look at another man.  And anybody who did had not reason being married.  I was so self rightous.  My cousin said to me,"  You never know if you are going to be tempted."  I was horrified.  Of course I not going to be tempted.

Well,  I didn't have and affair, but I was certainly tempted and I feel horrible about it.  If this temptation wasn't removed, I would be in your position.

I think that a lot of women are like me.  They haven't taken the final step, but thinking about it is also betraying your marriage.

I'm now very careful about putting myself in a position where I could be tempted.  My best advice to you is on a practical note: Avoid situations where you might be tempted.  I don't mean don't ever go out of your home, but if you find yourself looking at someone, end the interaction immediately!  No matter what. 

I'm praying for you.

Thank you so much for your honest replies.  When I was diagnosed, it felt like my whole world was crumbling.  I tried to call off the wedding, because I felt that I couldn't do this to my husband.  My refused to let me go.  He stood by me, when no else did.  I can't believe that someone could love me that much. 

I come from an abusive background, so I was shocked that he stood by me through this.  Not even my mother did.

The only reason why I didn't kill myself, was because I didn't want to hurt him.

When I went to my priest for counselling, he asked me," Would I change anything about my life?"  I looked at my husband and said, " Not a thing!"

I really feel that I've given this to the Lord.  I  have such peace.

He will be a wonderful father one day!  He rubs my tummy as if we already have a baby!

I just don't want his family to be upset. I hope that they don't think that I'm being selfish by having a baby.

[They never struggled to conceive!!!!!]

I'm so sorry to hear of your diagnosis.  However, from experience, I have good news for you.

My mother had endo so bad so actually ended up having a full hestorectomy.  My sister also has endo and she has had to go for serveral surgeries.  We might be wondering," where is the good news in this?"

They never struggled to conceive!!!!! 

My sisters obgyn said the her that he has seen woman riddled with endo ( like her) and conceive in the first month.  And he has seen women with only the smallest touch of endo battle..   Somethings can't be explained by science.

I strongly advise you to pray and make peace with this.  And when the time comes for babies, relax and enjoy it.

I'm from beautiful South Africa!!!

I've known my husband since I was 14.  I'm 25 now and we have been married for three years.   We have such a wonderful marriage, I've been truly blessed with my husband.  I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for him.

About six months before the wedding, I tested positve for a rare gentic disease which is fatal.  But I will only become sick when I'm abiut 35 and it will take 15 years until the end.

I've made my peace with this and so has my husband.  We both want children.  I'm willing to adopt but my husband doesn't want to entertain that idea.  The chance of our child inheriting this gene is fifty fifty.


I'm worried about how the family is going to react to a pregnacy knowing about my illness.  Is it wrong to want a baby?
