Lianne,
One more thing...many people say that anything other than excision will
not help w/ Endo. While I do believe that, the GnRH therapy I was on
(Synarel) did work. Before I started, I had an Endometrioma on my right
ovary that I was told (by a "specialist") had to be removed and possibly
have my ovary reconstructed. When I completed the Synarel, the
endometrioma was gone! While I am sure I will need another Lap. in the
future, I got amazing relief and am still feeling great. As we all
know, the fewer surgeries we have, the less scaring and
adhesions...which is a good thing!
