Hi Cath,
There are probably quite a few of us women on this site this endo. I have severe endo and have a little girl Annie, she turns eight months on Friday. We had her via IVF and my doctor was very optimistic about IVF success rates for women with endo. The best news though is that when (not if!!), when you get pregnant and then if you breastfeed, the endo reduces in severity, and your chance of natural conception increases dramatically!
Good luck Cath
Belinda

Hi Cath
I have another sucess story for you. I had severe endo and now have twins! As Belinda says the pregnancy really helps the endo and my once totally blocked tube is now clear!!!
I was told that with endo you have a higher than normal chance of having raised NK cells,this was the case with me. I had several low positives which amounted to nothing before being treated for the NK cells after which |I went on to get a positive.
There is lots of hope for you but I would think about getting the endo sorted out as much as posssible before starting a cycle.
