does endometriosis cause infertility - #25970
I am really struggling with this whole situation. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with endometriosis after suffering from painful periods for years. Like, I thought it was normal, but apparently, it’s not?! Anyway, I’ve been talking to my doctor about the symptoms and treatments. But here’s the thing—does endometriosis cause infertility? Because we’re considering starting a family soon, and I’ve read so much conflicting info on this! I’m scared, ya know? Last month I had this awful pain that made me think, ‘OMG, what if I can’t conceive?’. My friend mentioned her sister had endometriosis and had a really hard time getting pregnant, which just freaks me out even more. I've also had hormone testing and ultrasounds, but the doc said my ovaries looked fine, which I guess is a good sign? But still, does endometriosis cause infertility, or is it just a possibility? I just don’t wanna be in a situation where I can’t have kids, that would break my heart! Any insights would be sooo helpful! Like, seriously, does endometriosis cause infertility, or are there other factors at play that I should be thinking about?
