-- Kimberly, Hi! I am new to this forum and I read your email. I have been diagnosed with endo. I have a very extreme case of it. In this past year I have mangaed to have two laproscopes, 6mos of lupron and now we are talking about a third surgery. It keeps growing faster and faster. Anyways, my husband and I are trying to get pregnant and my Dr. has put me on clomid 50mg. Not because I am infertile, but because the endo is growing faster than the baby thing. My Dr, told me it does make the endo grow a bit faster and that it can cause cysts so you have to see him once a month for him to check on it. I don't know as far as how fast it grows or anything all I know is that he told me it can make it grow since it is a low form of estrogen. I wish you the best of luck. Tina
