That's great advice. It's just the depression thing has hit every generation of my family, my aunty nearly attempted suicide. I will definitely get my eggs frozen. There is a big chance that I may be infertile because of Endo so it may end up that I can't carry it. I do know many women have had their pain reduced due to having children but I also know a woman who got Endo symptoms after two children. Also its impossible to test for Endo genetically as it doesn't develop until puberty (pain so extrem I was in fetal position bawling my eyes out. It can only be detected through a surgery.
I have to admit I'd love a daughter.
