I did have a lap w/ laser treatment back in April- he zapped what he could see, but said some of it was too deep to zap safely and effectively. So, Lupron started right after that (in early May). I've had the 2 three-month injections of Lupron (11.25 mg, I think), so I am at the end of my 5th month. The endo is located on the back, bottom portion of my uterus, affecting my bowels. I think he saw 3 or 4 spots, but said some could be microscopic.

But, yes, I did have the lap first- he insisted that's the only way to properly dianose endo.

Thanks!!
