Thank you everyone for your advice, and your experiences. I never realised that cutting out Endo was so much better than laser, each Gyno seems to have their preference. I am going to ask about progestrone cream when i see my gyno this week - the one that did my last surgery. But i am still going to see my original gyno - the Endo specialist as I'd trust him to so another lap on me and check EVERYWHERE for endo as the last lap was done as an emergency so who knows how much time was spent looking?. I'm sat here feeling like someone is twisting/ripping something in my RHS (by the appendix area as usual)- yet this is the side i am missing my tube and ovary from - its so unfair to have so much pain on the side I've not even got any female organs!. Its scarey that all the male Dr and Gyno's always tell me to go on Lupron as if its this wonder drug with NO side effects - i do not want to risk damaging my body by even trying this drug. But then they think i am being negative by refusing this drug and think my pain is not bad if i don't want to try something that could take away the pain!.
