Hi I didn’t have fertility problems but my sister who is 9 years younger got told at 19 she wouldn’t be able to conceive naturally due to endo. Forgive me if I get the ages wrong it was 11 years ago but at 19 she was told she couldn’t have fertility treatment due to her age at 19. I think you need to be 21 to have it. We argued against this as she had her own home and was in a long term relationship and she was also told her endo was so severe she needed a hysterectomy. We got in touch with Professor Lord Winston who fought our corner and yes she had a few round of IVF. 11 years later she has 2 beautiful boys both IVF babies, no hysterectomy as she’s been on zoladex on & off but the endo is still there. Due to more research she is against a hysterectomy as due to the amount of endo it would get rid of it all. Good luck on your journey.
