Hiya Ree
Just a quick question if you haven't had a lap done how have you been
diagnosed with Endo? it's the only way to confirm it.
I had to have a lap firstly to diagnose and secondly to remove the endo
to enable me to have a baby. I would suggest sticking to your guns
about getting a lap done especially if you are worried about your
fertility it's too precious to muck about with. Believe me you don't
want to just leave it, it's not going to go away it will get worse.
It took me a year or two to find out I had to be the driving force in my
treatment, I had to give up being polite LOL, and accepting everything
the doctors told me, they are not god and if I had stopped at the first
three I approached I would be childless and I would never have married
my wonderful husband. they could have ruined my life, but I didn't let
them.
Take control it's YOUR BODY not theirs it's YOUR LIFE that they are
playing around with.
Take care and good luck, Wendi
