It may depend on the skill of your surgeon as to whether it will come back and how long it might take to do so. Endo isn't always very visible, or it may be in a difficult location which the doctor is not comfortable touching. Also, it may depend on whether the endo was excised or burned away. If it was burned away, there may be residual endo that was left behind in that exact spot.

Fertility depends on so many factors. Unfortunately, having had endo, or currently suffering, does put you in a less favorable for conceiving category. I am unsure of the numbers here.

I fully agree with you here. ONce you are recovered from surgery, i would say go for it! My first ovulation after a lap for an endometrioma in 1999, resulted in our first son! I have heard that post-surgery cylces are good for conceiving. THis turned out to be true for me, however, I'm not sure why.

You have some tough decisions ahead. Best of luck to you!
