Hi all! I agree with Ally. I was also told I could start trying to get
pregnant about 3 weeks after my lap, or as soon as I felt ready. It is
true that after a lap is probably one of the best times to try for a
baby b/c a lot of the endo and or scar tissue has been removed. Also,
sadly, endo does seem to "come back" really quickly. Good luck and have
fun trying! :)
