Kaylee, Bless your heart! Well, I know for a fact that if you have endo
you can get pregnant. Can't believe the doc said that to you! I have
endo, first diagnosed when I was 20. I had an extensive surgery to
remove two very large cysts that had ruptured. I am 27 now and have a
beautiful, healthy 7 month old. I had him by c-section and the OB that
delivered said I had extensive endo that she cleaned up after delivering
my son. You can have endo and get pregnant! :) I wish you luck!!
