Thanks Racheal...I was terrified of my first lap too considering it was my first ever operation but it wasn't as bad as I had built it up in my head to be! I'm going to suss out the natural therapies as well.

Hi Sheree - yeah the gyn wants to stop me having periods so the endo doesn't grow back. I'm just wary of all the side effects of these drugs 8-[

My gyn hasn't mentioned the CA125 test and I never knew of it until reading about it here so I didn't have it done.

I haven't had an IVF review yet. All of this came on quite quickly since it all started with me mentioning to my GP that my periods were painful, etc etc. DH and I weren't planning to TTC till later this year so now at the moment all I want to do is get the endo sorted and work out when we want to jump into IVF.

What's involved in the review for IVF?

I have a note from the gyn that she had written me after surgery saying that I have severe endo, my tubes are blocked will need IVF for pregnancy and that she separated some of my bowel that was stuck to my left ovary. She also gave me pictures of it. Would this be enough to take to another gyn? Or should I ask them for a copy of my file?

I don't even know what she did in me regards to lasering/cutting it out etc

Thanks so much for your advice. I really appreciate it.

Lynny
