Hi, I saw your post- I have never heard that having more laps. lessens your chances of having children.If you have a lap. & endo. & adhesions are removed by laser, you have more of of a chance of having repeat laps. in the future.Laser seems to only remove surface lesions, excision seems to be the best in the long run as far as preventing recurrance, but most Docs. (except for the specialists like Albee, Redwine etc.) usually only use laser.I have had 5 laps.and managed to have a daughter without much difficulty.As for the continuous BCP's talk to your Doctor about the lack of sex drive. Most BCP's tend to put a real damper on your desire, & can cause mood changes/depression etc.. Mention it to your Doc. to see if he has any suggestions.I hope this helps. Sara'
