Hard to say for sure, although I guess it's possible. Both of my sisters had it, and both were told by their respective OB/GYNs that that was the reason they were unable to conceive. However, after surgery, both ended up having children.
Being unfamiliar with such stuff myself, I'm wondering: If endometriosis is an auto-immune disorder, how could surgery correct it?

The endometrium, uterine lining, grows outside the uterus and sticks to things: ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, diaphragm, muscles, tendons, bowels, etc. It thickens and can forms cysts of varying thickness. It can pull other organs out of alignment and make them adhere to things, such as ovaries adhering to bowel. Surgeons remove the big chunks, cut through the adhesions, and burn off what they can.
Some researchers say it is an auto-immune disease in that the body does not recognize the wrong tissue growing in the wrong places and kill off this tissue.
