My endo didn't go when I had my little girl either, and I have heard
from other women with the same problem.
I can totally relate to you, have you tried any other "supposed" cures?
I am on Zolodex at the moment, which is doing Jack Shit! But it worked
for a friend of mine, so not sure what to try next!
You have to go to get a second opinion and may be have another
laparoscopy.
Good luck
