Brief Answer:
there is no need to worry, but need examination
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It seems that you have endometriosis and have undergone some surgery for it.
The reason for spotting are numerous with common ones being hormonal imbalances, cervical polyps, cervical erosions, uterine fribroids and so on. So they need a blood examination as well as a pelvic examination and ultrasound to know the cause. The problems are not serious at all and can be managed easily.
Also about the fertility issues, as you have been operated for chocolate cysts, it is possible that some ovarian tissue may have also been removed with the cyst.
Also endometriosis is a major cause of infertility. So it is better to get a blood AMH level tested to know about the ovarian reserve and then if things are not working out a test tube baby shows good results.
Hope this satisfies your query.
