"I think, yes, endometriosis was definitely a major reason that my marriage failed. I don't think either of us understood it at the time - for as smart and intelligent as Salman is. I think that's also because I hid it to a certain degree. Not intentionally, but it's weird to talk about your period all the time. It's the least sexy thing in the world to do."
"Despite my diagnosis I still wanted to try and have a baby, but not being able to have kids was an immediate fear," she told Parents. "It made me feel out of control."
"It turned out I ruptured a cyst that was on my ovary. I didn't know, but I have endometriosis. I've apparently had it for a long time because I've had this pain for about the last five years. It hasn't been as bad. Up till last week, I let it go and I was always too busy to get it checked out.'"
"It came as a shocking blow, of course, because I never even knew I had endometriosis. As a cybercondriac, it kills me that I've apparently had a disease for twenty-eight years and never even knew it. That is just so wrong."
"I was always told that fertility would/could be a problem for me. Why do I have this? I've heard everything from "You have too much caffeine in your body" to "It's genetic" to "You need to be put on birth control pill" - and I don't believe in using synthetic hormones. In order to get pregnant, I know it would require surgery. For me, it becomes a sort of 'I can't handle doing that."
