Sasha,
I wanted to let you know that even having Endo. and multicystic ovaries
doesn't mean you will not be able to have babies. I had a lap done in
Sept. 2000 to confirm that I had mild Endo. I was not told that I had
PCOS also (just found that out from another doctor this Oct.) 4 months
after my lap. I became pregnant. I now have a health 2 year old
daughter. Don't give up hope, just try looking for another doctor.
Sounds like the one you have doesn't want to take the time to care.
