What regrets has endo put on you?

I (28) was recently diagnosed with endometriosis through the discovery of endometrioma cysts - one 4cm and one 5-6cm. It’s always been a very high speculation of having endo, but the cysts confirmed it for my doctor. I’ll definitely be having surgery in the next month or so, but I’m scared to end up back under the knife again in a year or so from it growing back. I’m scared for my future of having children, if there even is one. And I’m also scared to pass this on to any children I’m lucky to have.

My husband and I have heavily discussed a hysterectomy mainly for the hope of a future without debilitating episodes. We want kids, but aren’t necessarily sure we want them right now. Adoption has also become a consideration for us.

I’m not really sure what I’m even looking for with this post, other than maybe some similar mental struggles. What regrets has endo given you?
