[quote=Anonymous]Thanks to everyone for your responses! I too have heard that pregnancy and childbirth helps to "reset" the reproductive organs' functioning, and many women experience relief after having children. Unfortunately, I am single, and furthermore am unsure if I want children. Endometriosis aside, the women in my family have historically had children later in life (my grandmother had my mother at 38, and my aunt at 43--in the 1950s no less! And my mother had my brother and me in her mid-late 30s), and my mother went into menopause in her late 50s, so the genetic/longevity aspect of fertility is in my favor. I have considered being a surrogate, however most agencies require their surrogates to have already successfully carried a pregnancy to term, and I have never even been pregnant.

Pycnogenol is a product I've not heard of--I'm excited to look into it! I've been taking a turmeric supplement for a while now, and will soon start a ginger supplement and omega 3, 6, & 9 supplement. Pycnogenol might be a good addition, along with the endo diet. A large part of the problem is that there is still some confusion about endo, and contradiction within the medical community on how to treat it. At this point, I am very wary of further medical treatment in the form of hormones or Lupron--the horror stories I've read about, plus my own disappointing experience with medical/hormonal treatment is steering me toward dietary and natural treatment.

I'm so grateful to web-based communities like this that provide feedback and support! Thanks again!     [/quote]
