    Hi Natalie

    Endo isn't the same in everyone. I know a woman who had all 3 of her kids later, when she was 35 - 45 y.o. Then there are women who are infertile by 24. Likewise, it keeps coming back in some women but not in others. Some day we'll have explanations for these differences; I think that's 20-50 years in the future.

    If you can afford to go to a fertility doctor, that's who can tell you whether you have a problem. If you can't afford that, just read up from a reputable source about natural conception. It will tell you when in your cycle to have sex to be most likely to conceive.

    With or without endo, there are no guarantees about conception.

      hi there

      thank you for your reply that - your right everyone is different with ENDO I have no symptoms at all only that my periods became lighter and shorter in length which prompted me

      to go doctors and that when I was told I had never head of Endo before that so reading up on it does really scare me with being infertile

      Fear is a powerful thing. It is not required of you that you read up about endo. Very often the writing about any disease is just like the news: only the worst, most sensational cases get written up.

      Just read about the positive steps you can take for conception, one of which is that trying top frequently is a bad thing, lol.
