hey ladies, it's me, Jenn again. Thanks for your answers on the period
issue..or should i say the lack of one lol! i have another question. I am
just getting to the point where i have been pain free for 9 months now and I
am hoping that it lasts forever and ever don't get me wrong. I haven't been
told about the possibilities of it coming back. i did hear once that with
one ovary left there is 65% chance. well has anyone hear how long it takes
for the endo to grow? in september there wasn't any new endo and the
adhesions and cyst i think were removed. still no pain but want to be
prepared in the future. I know that someday I could (emphasis on could not
that i am planning) have to deal with it all over again. just curious and
any info would be appreciated!
