What are the stages?

I am new to this whole endo stuff... can anyone tell me what the stages mean? Is it something I should find out about myself? All I know is that they "zapped" three places in my abdomen.

This is the first month that my DH and I are excited about trying to conceive again after three years of feeling hopeless... Here's hoping...

I found the answers myself. I will post it here incase there are others who feel like their head is spinning about this whole endo diagnosis...

Stage One - few endometrial implants, most often in the cul-de-sac in the woman's pelvic area.
Stage Two - mild to moderate levels of endometrial implants affecting one or both ovaries.
Stage Three - moderate levels of endometriosis with implants in several reproductive areas, perhaps in one or both ovaries.
Stage Four - the most severe of the endometriosis stages with widespread endometriosis implants throughout the pelvic area. The more widespread the endometriosis, the more likely fertility problems will be experienced.

from What Is Endometriosis and What Are Endometriosis Stages?
