I can vouch for excisional surgery. It certainly worked for me I had stage 5 endo which was finally diagonsed last year after 12 or more years of misery.

The Godsend, Dr Michael Cooper performed two surgeries on me and less than 2 months later I was pregnant. (Currently 30wks) I add that the surgery knocked me for a 6 and I still cannot work out how I fell so quickly while recovering but hey Im not aguring....

The interesting thing I was going to post about but will breifly mention here is that now that I am pregnant I have been told I have an irritable uterus which is causing me to have preterm contractions requiring medication to prevent labout from progressing prematurly. My OB wonders if this is connected to the endo and/or surgeries (8 all up over 12 years)...Food for thought.......

I wish all the ladies awaiting surgery the very best and hope that your pain stops as equally as fast as mine did.
