I had multiple ultrasounds and colonoscopy and all sorts of blood tests etc. but they could not find the source of my pain, everything is clear. I have chronic pelvic pain which is not too strong along with other symptoms which point to endo.

I went to Dr. Seckin (recommended by Dr. Reich's office) an endo specialist as a last resort and he recommended going in with a lap. I guess I am just plain scared that maybe and just maybe if this is something else then I am just going with too invasive and agressive of an option as surgery.

On the other hand, if I do have endo then it makes no sense to me to have anything else but surgery since there is nothing out there as far as I know which has been proven to stop endo growth or reduce it. At least a good surgery would perhaps give me relief for longer time. I know I do not want hormones.

I am still in school and don't want to have a baby until later -- hopefully in couple of years. If I could have a baby now, I would just go for it but it would be highly impractical right now. I love kids and do not want to destroy my chances of having one. I just got married a couple of months back :(

He is going to excise them if he sees any. I am of the opinion if I have to have lap then it should be accompanied with excision because multiple surgeries are just a bad idea.

Thanks! That sounds like a good idea!

Yes, endo is horrible in that respect, I know pain has no correlation to the extenet of the disease. Maybe that is one of the reasons why it is so frustrating and psychlogically so hard. I would give anything to know for sure that I have endo before going and having a surgery.

Thanks for listening -- I just needed to vent.
