> I am 20 years old and had my first lap in december 08 , it was to confirm endo or not and from sight they couldnt find anything, but did find that my tubes are closed. Yesterday 27 jan i had a follow up with a fertility surg. and they took a biopsy from the lap and that has shown that i do have endo but just more sevre and they couldnt see it. So now i have to go for a Hysterosalpingogram next week. Im still so young to think about having children right now but i have done evrything to avoid being a young mum and i wanted to get a career and travel and be financilly secure first and now it looks like im going to be going thourgh more procedures just to even get the chance... Im so lost please help..
