How long is it until endometriosis stops the ability to be pregnant?


I have endometriosis, I didn't find out till a few days ago. And I would like to know how long it would take for it to process before it stops the possibility to be pregnant?

That's a false misconception. My OBGYN told me 42 yrs ago that I had endometriosis and the best way to make it better (for lack of a better word) was pregnancy. There's something about the hormones and pregnancy that helps the endometriosis. I had 4 children without incident. I felt so much better during pregnancy, no pain or anything. It was when I decided not to have any more children that the endometriosis really came back with a vengeance. I ended up have a complete hysterectomy at 35 because of it. So don't worry about having a baby, it will not affect it any way. I know there will be a lot of women out there saying I'm wrong, but I am living proof you can get pregnant with endometriosis.

Endometriosis doesn't automatically lead to infertility; while it's true that it can cause problems for some women, the majority of endo patients are able to conceive.
