I have endometriosis and the doctors have told me that until a fertility test is taken you wont be able to know if you are or are not able to have children. However, they also mentioned that it will be more difficult to become pregnant. I have met several women who have endometriosis who got pregnant just fine. Getting pregnant and having endometriosis is based solely upon your individual genetic make-up.
AnswerIt really depends on the extent of the Endometriosis. I am assuming that you were diagnosed through laparoscopy, which is the only true way of diagnosing Endometriosis. Therefore, you should ask the physician that performed the procedure exactly where the endometrial implants are located. If they are in the fallopian tubes or ovaries, there is usually too much scar tissue for an egg or sperm to travel through and result in pregnancy.Many women though, have been known to become pregnant with Endometriosis and have said that the disease virtually disappears or lessens after pregnancy due to not menstruating for 9 or more months. Check with your Dr, if you have insurance, the endometrial implants can often be removed with laser and covered by your plan.
*****Don't give up home thogh cause I had a laparoscopy and was diagnosed with Endometriosis last summer 2010 that covered all of my organs from my servix all the way up to and including my liver, my tubes and ovaries weres severely scared as well as many of my organs and in November 2010 just after my birthday I found out I was pregnant and medically speaking it wasn't possible, but it happened. and now I have a two and a half month old son who is perfectly healthy and we couldn't be happier. As for the fertility tests they were all negative and i took them as instructed to the T as well as fertility medication. Eventually I quit worrying and stoped the meds and the tests and just went on with my life not just mentally but deep down.... and as I said previously wonderful blessing of a son was still the result for me.--Stevie1989

So, if you manage to conceive and carry it to full term with endometriosis, consider it a huge blessing, even if it couldn't have happened at a worse time in your life.

∙ 12y agoHi, the first thing to do when diagnosed with endometriosis and TTC is to have a full check up by your doctor. He will thell you what is it that you need to do.
You should also have in mind that endometriosis has 4 stages (one being the starters of it all and 4 the wrost kind of endo you can get), depending on the stage you are in it may have different impacts in your reproductive life.
Many women with severe endometriosis don't have as much trouble as they thought they would in getting pregnant it is all a mystery with endo but the smartest thing to do is definitely not to take this condition as a given one regarding symptoms and consecuences because all bodies are different. Just keep close to your doctor.

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.

Umbilical hernia endometriosis?
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).
