Answers:
Have your children As soon as possible.
I had endometriosis, 2 surgeries, age 15, 17, and hysterectomy at age 18, 11 months. I somehow got pg. at age 16 5 days prior to my regular 25 day on the clock period.
it was my one and only chance, a rare miracle that i even ever got pg.
I will keep you in my thoughts and well wishes.
my doctor advised me, to marry young, have children asap, and YES, when you are preggers, your endometious will not continue to grow, with each cycle it grows.
if you are in pain, you will need to consult your doctor.
for me, i could not have sex at all w/o stabbing searing pain.
don't wait, talk to your fiancee' see if he wants a family and if now is too soon to start trying.
blessings, I hope you can have children.
life is short and full of blessings and miracles,
My miracle was to work with young children for dozens of years, and be a mentor teacher to many youngsters and be an remarkable part of their child development.
i did not carry to term....I was too young. i was only 16.

Treatment of infertility associated with endometriosis
Endometriosis is more common in infertile, compared to fertile, women. However, the condition usually does not fully prevent conception. Most women with endometriosis will still be able to conceive, especially those with mild to moderate endometriosis. It is estimated that up to 70% of women with mild and moderate endometriosis will conceive within three years without any specific treatment.
The reasons for a decrease in fertility are not completely understood, but might be due to both anatomic and hormonal factors. The presence of endometriosis may involve masses of tissue or scarring (adhesions) within the pelvis that may distort normal anatomical structures, such as Fallopian tubes, which transport the eggs from the ovaries. Alternatively, endometriosis may affect fertility through the production of hormones and other substances that have a negative effect on ovulation, fertilization of the egg, and/or implantation of the embryo. Infertility associated with endometriosis is more common in women with severe forms of the disease.
Treatment options for infertility associated with endometriosis are varied, but most doctors believe that surgical treatments are superior to hormonal or medical treatments for endometriosis when the goal is enhancement of fertility. Assisted reproduction techniques may also be used when appropriate in combination with surgical therapy.
