I know one lady who conceived her son through in vitro fertilization,
fertility secondary to severe endometriosis.  The baby is now 11 months old,
eating very little solids, breastfeeding a lot.  Her symptoms of
endometriosis returned when he was about 8 months old-- she now wants to
wean him off the breast, wants to conceive again, is realistic that it may
take some time.
        I found it interesting that she was almost symptom free for the
first 6-8 months postpartum.  I too would like to hear thoughts of others.
