Thanks for the reply and for your advice. I had stage 3 endo., as well.
When they did the lap. last year they also checked the tubes and the
tubes looked clear. I am having a very hard time finding an endo
specialtist in my area (Philadelphia region). I am willing to travel if
necessary, but need to know it is worth it,and that it will help. Who's
your doctor in NYC?
Congrats on your pregnancy. I wish you the best!
