PCOS - PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome - basically your ovaries don't release the eggs for whatever reason and they build up in the ovaries and turn into cysts...if the eggs aren't being released or if they're released later or earlier than "normal" ovulation - that could cause problems.

Do you know if she ever charted? Checked her temp every morning at the same time to see if she was ovulating.

Endometriosis could DEFINITELY be causing infertility - it's scarring of the tubes, etc. and could make the egg passing through difficult.

As far as you - they can check your guys out and see your # of swimmers, how many are "good" for fertilizing, etc.

Don't presume it's all on her though - that could be an issue too - if you both want kids. She could feel it's all her (and if she has endo it could be her) and then you apply guilt by assuming it's her body that must be wacked out......

Not saying you DID that but it kinda sounded that way in the previous post. My apologies if that wasn't the case. \:\)

P.S. Endo isn't a death sentence for having more kids as my sister has a very healthy (FAT! ) 4 month old baby boy and she has it - although they did tell her if she wanted kids, she should do it sooner rather than later.
