I had no symtoms of endo. I had a slow rising temp even when I used
seraphine. Finally we decided to check for endo. I had stage 2 endo
which my fertility specialist told me significantly effects both
ovulation and fertilization. 1 month post surgery my temp spiked
perfectly and I have conceived. It is well worth at least asking a
fertility doctor about. Especially if you have been trying for over a
year.
