Beth,

I underwent a lap in July of this year and was diagnosed with Endo. I am also in Stage 1 (minimal) I have 2 Ob Gyn's that I work with. One told me to have a baby immediatley or my chances later on would be slim to none. ( I also have cervical dysplasia though) The other told me that I could wait but no more than 2 years and then I would still have undergo another lap to make sure the endo hasn't grown on or in my tubes.

I hope that your pain has went away some and the laser lap was beneficial to you. I know it was for me!!! My boyfriend and I are both recent college grad and just bought our first home. So we are trying to concieve now. I will have a hystercotmy after that.

Anyway, Good luck and I believe it's just up to you if you'd want to go through the lap again or not.
