Lisa, If you are trying to get pregnant, I would continue those pursuits. Pregnancy is about the best treatment for endo there is short of removing the pelvic organs. If the endo is precluding you from getting pregnant and you really want a pregnancy now, then you need somebody to address the endo with a modality of definitive treatment to enable you to conceive. This may mean laparoscopy, etc... Lynn
