Hi Ashli,
I'm sorry that I cant help with advice on the endo front (I hope that your treatment gives you some relief from the pain and symptoms) but at how scary it must have been to hear from your doctor that you needed to start thinking of kids or else you wont have them! My first reaction about your doctor is 'what an irrisponsible comment!'.
I'm not sure what sort of a specialist your Dr is, but irrispective of that, if you want to discuss your options regarding having kids, either now or into the future, I would be asking for a referal (or a second opinion to a more understanding dr) to a fertility specalist (FS) who specalises in treating people with endo. You may find that there will be options for you to help into the future - you may not have to make a decision to start trying for kids now or before you (and your partner) are ready. On that front a good friend of mine who has suffered from endo from her teenage years, recently had a beautiful baby girl, when aged 34 - and she concieved naturally - so there is hope.
Good luck, seek out a good fertility specialist who you trust!
