Hello Nikk, I am also 24 yrs old and i just got diagnosed w/endo@ moderate stage on April 20, 07, so im also new to to this. My doc burn some of it,(which i hear is not good at all)and she didnt burn all of it either. I have a follow up appt in a week. And to all of this i also have a tilted uterus. My doctor also said that the next step was going to be Lupron, but just like you im not thrilled at all. Ive read many bad experiences. Good Luck w/ your lap, that's the only way to diagnose endo!! Mine wasnt as bad as i thought, as long as you take ur pain meds, u'll be ok. Good Luck. Steph :)
