Endometriosis is one of those things that can be treated by birth control, which can enable you to get pregnant.
Guess which part my doctors DID NOT tell me?
Birth control is how I conceived my first kid, and IUD hormone remnants kept my uterus more or less okay until I had my second child, whereupon the endo took over and tried to eat my uterus to the point where the organ in question was in the process of inverting itself to try and escape when they finally took it out.
Uh, what was my point - OH. Right. Anyway: You can have severe, horrible, crippling endometriosis (raises hand) and have perfectly normal thyroid levels.
