Ragna,
Your body may just be trying to re-adjust to having the medication back
in its system. If it is Endo-don't be scared:) Infertility is a symptom
of Endo, but it doesn't affect all. A lot of us on this forum have Endo
and children-I my self have two:) Just try to ferret out every
possibility that it might be-from your body re-adjusting to Endo to some
thing else all together. Your doctor should hopefully be able to lead
you down the right path:) Good luck and try not to be scared-whatever it
is we will be here to support you--Denise
