Baffled over bubbas

[misswinniepoo]

I'm currently a woman hoping for a baby but scared by the prospect for several reasons. First of all, I suffer from endometriosis, fibroids and PCOS. I'm currently having hormonal treatment (Prostap) to help thin the lining of my womb and prepare me for surgery in March, after which I have a year to try and conceive. It all seems so rushed as far as if I fail to conceive then I have to take the necessary steps to try and have a baby and if I do conceive then WHAM, I'm pregnant. I just want to know how successful surgery for fertility such as my own are and don't know how prepared I will be for motherhood. I'm reading this back and it all sounds so confused but that's how I feel right now. I know I need the surgery, I know I want babies, but I'm just so confused by what both my body and mind wants.

I think it sounds like you have a great chance of falling pregnant after surgery. Once the endo and fibroids are removed, it is just the PCOS you have to deal with, and being on something like clomid will certainly help.

I don't think anyone can be 'prepared' for motherhood, but you definitely should know if this is something you're ready to leap into. Eg, all of us girls in here would cut our right arms off to be pregnant, but doesn't mean we're prepared for all that motherhood brings...I don't think you can prepare for something you haven't experienced before.

That's so true and I so don't want to play down how important motherhood is to me and everyone in this forum. I think it's just the enormity of it all. I see my friends with babies and my heart soars but I'm still so scared of the prospect of it all, especially the surgery.
