This is the painful truth of what living with endometriosis looks like.
“The test revealed that both of your fallopian tubes are blocked. Either you had an infection that was never treated or you have endometriosis.” This was the conversation that introduced my disease to me, about two years ago, when my husband and I were trying to have a second child.
While I’d heard of endometriosis before, I had no idea how it was about to impact my life. I’d gone to doctors to try and get pregnant. Instead of two lines on a stick, I received a diagnosis that meant months of excruciating pain and, ultimately, the loss of my fertility and removal of my uterus.Endometriosis is often referred to as an “invisible illness” because women who have it suffer terribly on the inside but can look fine to the outside world.
Some of my relationships have suffered because of the challenges I faced, and I’ve had to mourn those losses, but this process has also strengthened my relationships with the people whothere for me. I won’t forget how my amazingly supportive mother, mother-in-law, sisters, and a few good friends sent me funny text messages when I needed them most, made me home-cooked meals, made it easy for me to get to the hospital, and babysat.
