I don't suffer from endo but my wife does/did.

She was diagnosed with endometriosis in mid 2004. Was a shock when we were asked what our thoughts were about having children. We weren't married at the time. Were told we had 80% chance of naturally conceiving compared to 'normal' couple' by the gynaecologist. Had the laproscopy soon after that. Endo on both ovaries, ovaries stuck to bowels. I fainted from seeing the photos.

Got married in Feb 2006, tried unsuccessfully for 10 or 11 cycles until Dec 2006. Decided to go to an ECCA fertility/ivf specialist. He immediately booked us in for the 2nd laproscopy for March this year because our chances of natural conception was only a few % (yes, I was shocked as this was much lower than 80% as told by the gyno). Got my wife and I to get ovulation and sperm tests respectively. He said that if we didn't conceive for 6 months after the 2nd laproscopy, we should start thinking about IVF in September.

Well, my wife has reached 37 weeks in pregnancy last Friday and we are in the waiting game for 5 weeks. It was the cycle where my wife tested positive for ovulation that we conceived our little girl to be. Needless to say we cancelled the 2nd laproscopy and funny to think we could have started IVF this month but instead, we are expecting...
