I have endometriosis. I want to have a kid before its too late. How do i convince my boyfriend?

Question

I have had endometriosis for 4 months now. Theres no damage due to my feminine parts. I have always wanted 1-3 kids, but now i, as i have read, have a little less chance of getting pregnant now. I love my boyfriend. We have been together for a little over a year now. We were best friends for a year before hand. How do i convince him to have a baby with me? I dont want to wait and find out that i cant have any kids.

Answer 1

Coming from someone else who has endometriosis (rapidly progressing, now at stage 3), you can't convince anyone to have a baby who doesn't want to have one. He may not be ready right now and to try and convince him may be seen as pressure in his eyes, which may scare him. That, you do not want.

Express to him your desire to have a child, and explain to him that you are worried that you may not be able to have children one day. Tell him that you would like them to be his children, and you hope that one day soon, he may feel as ready as you feel.

But hun, endometriosis is not the end of the world, and not a reason to rush having kids. Many people with endometriosis find it difficult to become pregnant, but DO get pregnant and have successful pregnancies. Pregnancy has been known to treat and sometimes even cure endometriosis.

Before you and your boyfriend rush into having kids, ask your doctor for a treatment to better your chances at a successful pregnancy.

But don't rush or pressure your boyfriend into it. Talk to him about it, but don't rush or pressure him. It may just scare him away instead.

Good luck!!

Answer 2

just tell him how you feel...THAT'S IT.  don't pressure someone in having kids.  That's not right.  IT WILL BACK FIRE.  If he wants some he'll let you know

Good Luck!

Answer 3

its going to be really hard to have kids for you period.  now and in the future.  to convince him, maybe you should tell him and tell him that you love him too.  

Answer 4

I would just tell him everything you can about your condition.  Do research, print some info out about it and offer for him to come with you and discuss the condition with your doctor.  The main thing, tell him you love him and you love the idea of him being the father of your child (only if thats the absolute truth).  His age also plays a role in this situation.  How old are you and how old is he?  What are your financial situations?  These are things to also keep in mind to discuss with him.  He may need some time to think and he may even say no.  Just try to stay understanding about it.  The better you handle the situation, the more likely he will be to take this into serious consideration.  Wishing you all the best.

Answer 5

Get married.  Geez. -_-

Answer 6

There should be no "convincing" invlolved.  You should explain to your BF how you feel and how much you would like to go ahead and try for a baby before your chances start to dwindle. However, if your BF is hesitant AT ALL it is not a good idea to go ahead with. It would not be fair to you or that resulting child if you and your BF were not in agreement on the pregnancy.
