I’m sorry you are feeling so scared right now. I know this can be a scary experience. I personally have not been through this but a very close friend of mine was diagnosed when we were 17 (we’re both 23 now). I know the gyno told her she would most likely still be able to have kids. The gyno put my friend on the pill and she just takes it year-round — she skips her period every month so she hasn’t had a period since she was 17. When she is ready to start a family, she will go off the pill and it should be fine. When she is done having kids, they recommended a hysterectomy for her.Please find another gyno. Your doctor should be willing to discuss any and everything with you. They should be able to tell you all of your options and possible risks. You will feel better having a doctor who is completely honest with you and able to inform you better. Do some research online on your own, and please reach out to someone in your life for comfort! I know you are scared and that’s okay. just please get yourself some support so you can start to feel better. find another obgyn You need a new gynaecologist.Your doctor should discuss everything with you, and clear up any questions you have. It is difficult to get pregnant with endo, but not impossible and the good news is, if you do get pregnant, it often reverses the condition. A laproscopy is a pretty minor procedure; they make a very small incision and there isn’t much scarring or pain. It’s more uncomfortable than anything else.I’ve never heard that the ovary moving behind the uterus can cause endometriosis. That may be a separate issue.I hope you do not have endometriosis.
