Hi,
Im 44 and was diagnosed with endometriosis two and a half years ago. I think I must have had it since I started having periods at 16 years as I have always had period pain.
I was told after my first laparoscopic investigation that one tube and one ovary were more or less 'useless'. I too started seeing a naturopath and was given lots of nutritional advice and was prescribed some supplements and herbs.

My second laparoscopy has revealed that there is no new endometriosis and what was there is now dormant. I am really pleased as you can imagine.

I understand that endometriosis does not really impact on a womans ability to conceive or implantation but there is some evidence to suggest endo affects the quality of the eggs.

This might be more critical for someone my age, 44 (with egg quality already compromised by my age) but I guess the younger you are the better your chances.

I would also recommend the following web sites for info on endo by Marilyn Glenville.

Hope this might be useful to you,
all good wishes
Melanie
