No success story yet but I can tell you that while endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility, it is not necessarily a sign that you will never be able to have children. Quite a few of the girls here have children. Keep your chin up honey, where there's a will, there's a way!

hi umm my mum had endoetriosis to and after a very long time she had my sister and my self. i think you will have to talk to your doctor as i know every case is different i hope this helps

Hi there...i have stage 4 endo and i've tried for a few years to get preg with no success. If you don't have luck naturally, you can definitely try to get pregnant through invitro fertilization. I'm in the process of doing ivf myself. Just another option incase you can't on your own. Don't worry! It will happen.

Hi there,

As someone that has had severe endo for many years all i can say is please don't take everything that your surgeon tells you for gospel. Yes it is possible to fall pregnant as i already have a son and am five months pregnant at the mo:) I was told that i would not be able to have kids, but me being me was not willing to accept that and i'm very glad that i didn't have a hysterectomy:) When the time is right it will happen:)

hey i am in my 33 week of pregnancy....THE PAIN DOESNT GO AWAY, at least for me. But i had no problem getting pregnnat,ive heard some do. The doc told me that the pain would go away during pregnancy, but it hasnt for me....which is really making it harder during the pregnancy but the baby is totally healthy and im hoping that when it comes out then the pain will be better, but it probably will still be there.....and your doc shouldnt tell you that you will need a hyst. sometimes that doesnt even work

I have had 2 full term pregnancies, plus an ectopic ( I am a high risk due to endo & pco)And I mangaged to conceive ll 3 times without help. My pain was frequent through them both, and had some spotting, and suspected low birth weights but both babies were fine and healthy, with good weights. Im not sure how things work n amercia, but I have been begging my gynae docs for years to get a hysterectomy, and none of them will touch me because of my age! So I am not sure why your being recommended for one? I am now being considered for ablatin, which is an alternative,just not as drastic as complete hysterectomy x dont give up hope x

I would advise to have children ASAP, My Dr told me Im up there in age and I'm only 33

yes, I know people who have had endo and have children.
However, don't let them feed you that hysterectomy line; hysterectomy is not a cure -- the endo can still come back and there are documented cases. According to an article in Prevention Magazine (and on CNN.com), the hysterectomy is the number one surgery that is preformed unnecessarily.
