A member asked:

Endometriosis can make you shed lining on places other than your uterus. so if you're pregnant could you still bleed that 1st month because of this?

No: When you are pregnant your hormones are very high which begins to suppress endometriosis. The glands of endometriosis around the body do not actually bleed they just become activated.
