Does anyone have a pregnancy success story with endometriosis?

Hello. I am looking for any twinge of hope here. Does anyone have a pregnancy success story with endometriosis? I have endometriosis (I have known this for at least five years now) my husband and I having been trying to conceive since August 2011, without success. I have had a hysterosalpinogram to make sure my tubes are open, which they are, my husband has had a semen analysis, all good there and I recently (less than a week ago) had my second laprascopic surgery to have endometriosis and adhesions removed. (first surgery was 5-6 years ago when I was diagnosed) Does anyone have a similar story to this with a happy ending??

    Really - I just had a laparoscopy for the same reason last week too!

    Now, to your question - I can tell you this: I am an administrator on an online forum for women with pelvic pain conditions and issues and I hear success stories every week. Women getting pregnant despite pelvic conditions, some with endometriosis, some with cysts, etc. So it is absolutely possible to conceive as long as your tubes aren't blocked :)

    I have two personal success stories, too - my mother and my grandmother. My grandmother had endometriosis and an enlarged uterus since puberty and had a son at age 24. (Though I should note that she had been trying to have a baby since age 18). My mother had three daughters, each 6 years apart, and never even knew she had endometriosis until much later - she was having an ovarian mass removed and the Dr. told her afterwards she had ALOT of endo. Her first daughter took 2 years to conceive, the next two less than a year.

    My mum had endometriosis, and she had me and my brother. My brother was born when she was 42, as well!

    Also a close friend has it, and gave birth to a baby boy last year after trying for a couple years to get pregnant.

    It'll happen when it's meant to happen for you. Good luck
