      1. No, endometriosis manifests itself differently for everyone. I had severe endometriosis, but was able to conceive three times, resulting in two successful pregnancies.

        1. No! Everyone is so different! Many women are able to conceive, even with endometriosis. While others may need IVF or other treatments. Some women do suffer with infertility as well. -Kimberli (Team Member)
