Endometriosis/andemetriosis And Pregnancy Posted: 08-15-07 22:04pm
I am seeking information on the condition
of Endometriosis/Andemetriosis and
pregnancy; if I manage to get pregnant
before being able to treat this condition,
will Andemetriosis/Endometriosis cause me
to miscarry?

Many women who suffer from endometriosis
had very good pregnancies. Pregnancy is
the only time when a woman will not
experience endometriosis symptoms because
she won't be menstruating. There are of
course women who had problems conceiving
(but it was not proven that it was due to
endometriosis) but also many women who
report having perfectly normal pregnancies
and deliveries.

It is estimated that 30-40% of people with
endometriosis are infertile. However,
that still leaves you a 70% chance which
is pretty good!
Miscarriage increase because of
endometriosis is still really
controversial. Some doctors say the
chance increases while others say there is
no effect at all. Many women will still
have healthy, happy pregnancies even with
this condition. Good luck trying to
conceive! Keep us updated on how things
go.

No, endometriosis should not cause
miscarriage. Pregnancy helped my symptoms
enormously!
