Endometrosis is a benign invasie diesease tht affects alot of women. It is a puzzling disease in which misplaced menstrual tissue identical to the endometruim grows outside the uterus. During menstruation some of the mensis can back up through the fallpian tubes into the pelvi cavity. In some women this ectopic tissue eventually implants itself on The pelvic organs, often on the ovaries. During each cyle, this tissue now called "endometriosis" acts just like the uterine lining. Since it is usually hormonallly responsive, it builds up , breaks down and bleeds. But unlike the endometruim inside the uterus, endometrisos in the pelvis has no way of leaving the body. If it is left untreated it is easy to imagine why this diesease can become progressieely worse with each monthy cycle, often causing pain and INFERTILITY.

Yes you can get pregnant but it's not very likely. Usually with endo you get epotic pregnancies. I have lost 3 due to endometrosis. I had it on my ovary and it was zapped off by lasers. I had the laposcopy for endometrosis in janurary. and tring to get pregnant .

So if you are lucky enough to get preggie you will lose the baby because of the endo. Endometrosis can be like glue and glue your organs toghter. It is not a pretty diesase

trust me
