I have also found that excision is much more successful than medical
management. You probably have a local medical school, where there are
university professors of gynecology and possibly even an infertilty
training program. Those centers tend to be affordable and you might
find a really great doctor willing to spend the time that you need (and
have the surgical expertise that you also need).
Good Luck
