Here are a couple of web links for you. This one shows a table describing the different stages. http://www.morehead.org/wellconnected/000074.htm (also has alot of helpful info besides the staging info) And this one has a graphic representation of the stages. http://webweekly.hms.harvard.edu/archive/1999/1_18/happenings.html

Like Rhonda said, stages don't necessarily have anything to do with your pain level. There are alot of women who have severe endo and relatively little pain and alot of women with very mild endo and chronic excrutiating pain. Staging can also be pretty subjective dpending on the doctor's interpretation of what he sees.
