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!
