Thank you so much for the advise. I am just hoping that it doesn't come
back to soon. I feel the best than I have felt in months! I can say
that I actually have had two days where I feel great. I wish that I
could feel this way everyday. The only thing is that in the back of my
head I worry that it could come back before I have the chance to get
pregnant.
Also, once I get pregnant am I going to have worry about the growth
coming back while I am pregnant. I have heard that when women with endo
during their pregnancy have the best time because they have no pain. Is
this true?
