Does Endometriosis Lower The Chances Of Pregnancy?

trying to get pregnant
I am trying to get pregnant, but I have some concerns.. first being I have endometrosis, will this drop my chances of having a child? second I'm just getting off of the drop provera shot I was on it for about 8 months , only getting I think 3 or 4 shots at the most, will that affect me as well? how long does it take for my body to jump back and start being normal again?
are there any otc medications I can take to make me ovulate, or help me to get pregnant? what should I do to just help my body speed up the process and get pregnant? I'm very active don't do drugs or smoke, or drink, I try to take care of myself as best I can but I guess I'm doing something wrong..
