When I was 23, I finally argued enough with Dr, also didn't think I had endo, to do lap, saying I was too YOUNG! Needless to say I was covered. So please, stress to have Dr. do the Lap. The pain she will have is NOTHING compared to what she's going through now. Just don't let her believe this is normal...IT'S NOT NORMAL. My prayers go out to you and her. I know it's a tough situation for you and her.
