    I don't know the specifics, but my bestfriend's sister had endometriosis and she had a great pregnancy and a healthy baby. Good Luck!

    I have stage 3 Endo, bordering on stage 4. I have bilateral endometriomas on both of my ovaries which causes them to stick together as well as some Endo on my bladder and tubes. I've had 2 laproscopic surgeries to separate my ovaries and remove and drain the endometriomas. The next step for me was IVF, but I successfully got pregnant after my last surgery. @Maybebaby23‌ are you seeing a RE?

    I have/had Stage 2 endometriosis. After surgery, we tried on our own for another 5-6 months and it didn't happen. It took two IVF cycles for me to get pregnant, but I've been having a very easy pregnancy with a healthy baby so far.

    The thing with endo is that it affects everyone so differently. You may have no trouble at all with stage 4 endo while something with stage 1 could struggle with infertility. It just depends so much on the individual, but there are definitely options to help if you need it.

    How long have you been trying? When did you last have surgery? I agree with TeeJ that it's a good idea to see an RE. The typical recommendation is to try for a year (unless you're over 35), but with a diagnosis that has the potential to cause infertility, I would probably go for a consultation at 6 months and see what a doctor has to say.
