Firstly, hello I've had a few laps myself and like all of us, I guess we draw on our personal experiences. I am wondering what your gyn told you? Did he/she give you an average based on best evidence? Did he/she remove the endo or leave it? Did they say where it was. Lots of questions I know but these things might give you a better idea.
EG, if you have endo on your tubes/ovaries this may make it more difficult then a small amount on the bowel wall.
At the time I was ttc no 1 it took 12 months after my lap. They didn't remove it at all and I took a drug after the lap to stop my periods for 6mths (which I understand is not the preferred method for dealing with endo).
For our second time ttc it took 2yrs in total, 12mth after my 2nd lap to conceive. At the time my gyn suggested that the first 4 'tries' after your lap gave me the best chance of conceiving. I think my endo was so bad it took 4mths just to get over it !
Going to IVF is a big decision and one luckily we didn't need to take but it is a personal decision, depending on what route to pregnancy you may choose to take ie, lots of women here have chosen natural therapies, drugs or a combo of the two.
Whatever you decide, I truly wish you the best and know that when pregnancy doesn't happen how and when you expect it too it is a time when you can really need support.
