thanks for your replies, I have had 4 laproscpic surgeries..one for adhesion/endo removal, the second for a tubal pregnancy 2 years later (the adhesions were back and so dense they could bearly find my ruptured tube) and the last for removal of a large choc cyst (along with my ovary).

My Dr is an endo specialist and an expert laser surgeon. At my last appt, I told him I still have pain and he said , I could either go on b/c pills, have another laproscopic surgery for adhesion removal or have a complete hysterectomy (I'm already missing one tube on one side and the ovary on the other).

I'm reluctant to go through the misery of a complete hysterectomy with the possibility of not having it resove the pain and cause more adhesions....and other possible effects.

I'm approaching menopause and thought that I could hang in there...however, it has been very difficult this past year due to ever fluctuating hormones...I think my Dr thought the B/c pills might help with the perimenopause also.
