Congratulations on your wedding! Sorry I did not see this message when you first posted. I don't really have much to add to what the others have told you but just wanted to share a little about my story as I thought it might help.
Endo is insidious and a real bugger ... I was only diagnosed at 36. I conceived on our first IVF cycle within six months of that lap. Our son is now four months old and believe it or not - even after nine months of pregnancy and no period - the endo is back. I am on the contraceptive pill to hold it at bay so that I can possibly attempt a second pregnancy with one of our frozen embryos next year. I am now suspecting that I might need a clean out again before that time.
Don't lose heart. Even though the disease is a real pain to keep at bay, it doesn't necessarily stop a woman from conceiving. I have known lots of women with endo who became pg very easily and had no problems during pg. I was one who had difficulty conceiving but the pg itself was an absolute dream. I was just glad that at least we know what is going on and the problem is so easily treated with laparoscopy. The trick is managing it in between pregnancies as you know.
Your wife is a young woman and this all bodes very well for her ... I am just glad that she has the diagnosis early in life so that it can be managed more effectively. I'd had it for most of my life but because I married later, I didn't address the problem until I wanted children and was very afraid that I had left it too late.
