There is an endo stage 5, it is just very rare. I'm sure if you put in a search of the stages on the interenet, then it should bring up some information. Kasia, sorry to hear that you are in pain, I would get back to the doctor or gyn and tell them you are in pain, and ask them what they are going to do about it! Sometimes after a lap you can still be in pain for a few cycles afterwards, but it is normal to be feeling a bit better by now. I hope things sort out soon, Lisa. At Sun, 2 Dec 2001, Robin wrote: >
