PZ- I think the gyno may have scared me a little. Dont get me wrong, she was lovely , but she told me all of the risks associated and that she knew of a case where a girl had to leave with a colostomy bag. Plus the risk of damage to the organs and that if that happened, it would turn into open surgery to repair the damaged organs. She also said that if i had to go back in the future to have another lap done, she would recommend asking for a referral to a gyno who specializes in endo. And she leaves at the end of December so if my date is for next year, which is highly likely, it will be another gyno doing the surgery, not her.
Those risks can also happen if you end up having a hysterectomy too, not to mention going through early menopause as a result. It's a hard one to weigh up, especially if you think you are able to live with it for the time being, but it can cause other problems. I have had two now without a problem and huge success with both of them. If the endo is left, it can cause adhesions with other organs and cause you more pain. A better alternative than taking the pill and skipping the sugar ones may be to have implanon or a mirena. Because you are only 30, so not old at all and taking the pill for the rest of your life may not be the best solution either. If it were me, I would go for the lap and then see how things went because I would not want to risk damage to other organs on top of dealing with endo.
