Hi.  I haven't been on the site in a while.  I just wanted to say thank you for responding.  Since I last posted, I had another laparoscopy.  I really wanted to know what was going on inside.  My doctor was thrilled.  I only had a small amount of endometriosis that he removed.  The problem is that I still don't know whether or not to stay on bcps.  I was on them for most of the time in between my laps.  Did the endo not return because of the bcps?  Or would it not have returned anyway??  Maybe someday they'll have an answer.
