Well, after the tests, I can only hope for my fertillity.It seems it won't affect my life and my sexual life, but I still have to see what will happen with my fertillity.

Thanks for the answers.

With your priorities already layed out, you should have no problem dicussing this with your health care professional. I hope your tests come back well today. I hope you get all the answers you were looking for. I most importantly hope that your life, sexual, and otherwise dont suffer from this. Take care.

My doctor told me that infertillity is a complication that appears to 30-40% of the women experiencing endometriosis.And from what I know, infertillity means you can't remain pregnant without an "egg" from another women.

However, my list of priorities is the follow:
1.I hope endometriosis won't affect my life as a whole.
2.I hope that endometriosis won't destroy my sexual life.
3.I hope that endometriosis won't make me infertille

Update to my post, I now know what endometriosis is. It doesnt mean you wont concieve, it just means that it may be a little harder to make baby stick to your uterus. The info I heard didnt say anything about sexual relatios with a spouse would hurt but that doesnt mean it wont either I just have to find out more. Def ask you doctor about this some more. I'm sorry you're going through this, keep trying and keep us updated.
