Here are some of the ways endometriosis may affect fertility:
- Endometrial growths, scar tissue, adhesions, or cysts that are around the ovaries may prevent an egg from entering the fallopian tubes.
- Endometrial tissue, if in the ovary, may actually prevent ovulation from occurring.
- Endometriosis may form inside thefallopian tubes, blocking passage inside the tubes and preventing the egg and sperm from meeting.
- Some researchers say that whatever causes endometriosis may also cause infertility. (The cause of endometriosis is not known, but some suspect it's related to a problem with the body's immune system.)
- According to some researchers, women with endometriosis have low levels of a certain substance that helps a fertilized embryo implant itself into the uterine lining.
- Endometriosis can make sexual intercourse painful for some women, and this pain may be more acute around the time of ovulation. Not having sexual intercourse around the time of ovulation would definitely interfere with your ability to get pregnant.

You can chart your ovulation, check your temperature with an ovulation thermometer BEFORE YOU GET OUT OF BED, and have sex during that time. Remember that it is very unusual that a woman truly ovulates 14 days after her period. It takes a little practice at first. If that fails, visit you gyno. Good Luck!!

Could you have endometriosis if you already have a child?
Yes. Having a child does not protect you from endometriosis. While having endometriosis often makes becoming pregnant difficult for women, becoming pregnant will also reduce the symptoms of endometriosis. So, being diagnosed with endometriosis after having a child makes it rather difficult for your doctor to determine whether you had endometriosis prior to the pregnancy or if it became an issue post-pregnancy - especially if you were positively diagnosed with endometriosis shortly after giving birth.

Endometrial tissue lines the uterus. Each month, in tune with the menstrual cycle, the endometrial tissue thickens and is shed during menstruation. If you have endometriosis, it means that the same kind of tissue that lines your uterus is also growing in other parts of your body, usually in the abdomen. This can cause scar tissue to build up around your organs. Endometriosis may cause severe pain and abnormal bleeding, usually around the time of your period. Pain during intercourse is another common symptom. However, it is possible to have endometriosis and not have any symptoms. Endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility(inability to get pregnant).
