I have another succes story for you. I was dx with endometriosis when I was 20 - six months after I got married. About a year before that I was dx with an uterine deformity also. I had two laps in about 2 years (during which they also removed at least one uterine fibroid the size of a golfball) and the dr told me that I might want to have children if that was something I was thinking about rather than waiting. So we decided to try and I got pg within 2 months after going off bcp's with my oldest daughter. Then timing just wasn't right for us to have another child until our oldest was 4 yo. We tried by ourselves for awhile and then I spent two years going to dr's nearly all the time - at least if felt like it. I had another lap and they discovered my ovaries were covered in cysts. I did six months of lupron and then I wasn't having a regular AF so they sent me to an RE. The dx me with PCOS and started me on Metformin. I was also taking Chaste berry root (Vitex). I had a regular cycle and got pg with our 2nd dd six weeks later. She is now almost 7. So it can happen. I know sometimes it seems like someone is telling you that this isn't supposed to be but I can tell you that I truely appreciate the two children I have because I had to go through a lot to have them.

As a side note, kind of - I think I got pg with my first dd so quickly because I was eating very healthy and I was working out 1.5 to 2 hours nearly everyday. Good luck!
