Hi everyone,

I am about to undergo a lap (hopefully in Feb) to see if I have endo. Basically we have been TTC since Aug 2007 and I have been pg once but m/c at 6 weeks in Nov 2007. Been trying ever since with no luck. Our FS is very keen for me to have it done. DH and I have had heaps of tests done and everything else seems to be in 'working' order so this is our next step before trying IVF.

I have a number of symptoms of endo and I have read it can be misdiagnosed as IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) which I was diagnosed with about 6 or 7 years ago. I manage this condition quite well except when it gets to AF time, then I gets it really bad. Obviously I don't want to have endo but at the same time I really want a reason/answers as to why we are having so much trouble (iykwim). Plus I am hoping it can be fixed (at least in the short term) so we can fall pg with our forever baby

If I do end up having endo I just wondered if I could maybe hear some stories of other ladies who have had the lap and had scarring removed and then fallen pg? And how long after? I know there are varying degrees of endo and it is different for everyone but I guess I just need to be inspired!

Sorry to everyone who has to endure this terrible condition but it is nice to see so many women suffering from endo have gone on to have their 'miracle' babies
