For a specific natural therapy plan for fertility, see a doctor who specializes in alternative treatments or find a naturopath in your area. They can design a plan based on you and your husbands needs that can help promote healthy fertility for both of you.

As my gyno said, even though you have endo, your husband may be shooting blanks. Fertility is a couple's problem and your having endometriosis - no matter how serverely is not necessarily the reason why you haven't conceived.

Also, you may wish to have another lap done but according to anything I've read, the more surgeries you have, the more you decrease your chance for pregnancy. Remember that even a lap causes scar tissue that can interfere with the proper functioning of your reproductive system.

So if you're really concerned about your fertility, seek out a fertility specialist and you can actually find some that use alternative therapies with varying degrees of success. Just make sure you ask about credentials and their success rates before you agree to anything.

As always, educating yourself is your best tool to make good decisions for yourself and your health future.
