8 years ago I thought I may have had endo too and never had a
laporascopy done because I thought it was too drastic. I had many, many
untrasounds which doctors should have been able to see my endo on but
never did. I ended up with an extremely severe case of endo- symtoms
too long to list and had 90% of it removed. I wish I would have had a
laporascopy earlier because I went through 7 years trying to get
pregnant. I would strongly suggest a lap, it is the only true way to
determine endo. E-mail me if you want to discuss
