I'm in the same boat as you. But I do have three kids this was before I knew I had endo. We are trying for a 4 th but it's been 6 months. I have been reading a diet with no gluten and excersise can help.
Yes many women have but the best advice I can give you is to find yourself an Endo specialist and there is only a handful around the world. Let me know where you are at and I can guide you in this direction.
Most OBGYN don't know how to excise let alone remove the endo off the bowel and just leave it there for it to continue to grow. If you want to have a better chance at conceiving this is what you need to do as your first step. Do not settle for anything less than the best or it could be damaging

Thank you all for your responses. I like in Charlotte, NC. I am not sure if I want to have surgery or not and maybe just attempt an IVF. We have a lot to think about... But I definitely don't want to give up.
Your best option with a specialist is in Georgia and he is worth the travel. He is one of the top 10 surgeons in the world for endometriosis

Hi I just called the doctor you recommended they wanted up too600.00 just for a consult does that sound right to you?
No the other one . Sorry what does CEC stand for?
Thank you so very much! I'll look into it!!
It stands for the Centre for Endometriosis Care
Does your insurance not cover the consultation? If not let me know and I can ask around if that is normal. I don't live in the US, so I will have to ask some people
Hi the problem is I don't have insurance:( it would be great if you could ask around:)
Another question are migraines common with endo? I get horrible migraines at least 4 times a month. I know zofran. Can cause headaches so wondering if it's from that or endo.
Yes here is a link for the article I wrote last year for hormones matter. I had migraines from the time I was 14 but started with chronic headaches at 10.
