Kristy,

Thanks for your advice. I'm not afraid of the surgery, and it won't be my first time. I've had 2 major reconstructive surgerys for different accidents, and a 4 day stay in the hospital for another surgery, so I'm not afraid at all. It's just more wondering if the cost, time, and inconvience is worth it. If it's not going to help me to definativly get it diagnosed, then I wouldn't want to get it done. She said she didn't feel any endo so I'm not so worried about infertility anymore. my primary concern before was that my ovaries would be completed covered in adhesions. I do want to have kids in the futre, and as I'm only 18 that leaves a lot of years left before that happens. I'm thinking I'll probably go ahead and get it done. Thanks! Kira
