The study later got retracted due to backlash but the fact that it happened at all if fucking baffling.

Don’t forget this study that instead of studying the causes or cures for endo studied the mental effects of the men in a relationship with someone who has endo.

    Being with the same guy for a while would probably not have an impact on fertility, to be fair. Just plain weird that they would mention that as a factor.

      Because it’s often mentioned I’ll find someone who will want them

      But I’ve been with the same guy who also doesn’t so just take out the uterus eeeee

      Sometimes it’s “what if you find a new guy who wants them” which is insulting. Like I’d dump this one or something

        My wife was trying to get her tubes tied for years. The doctors said the same thing. It went from “what about your husband? What if you changed your mind in the future? What if you meet someone else and he was the man of your dreams and wanted kids? Does your husband abuse you?”

        That last one was thrown in because apparently partners in abusive relationships don’t necessarily want to have kids with their abuser.

        Different doctors all asking about the same questions untill she was able to find a doctor that gave her a tubal. So yay for that.

          If a guy wants kids then he’s not the guy for me! But no, clearly I’ll change everything to get a guy!
