Sarah,

Yes it is very common and I know people who have had it much worse than mine was and still managed to conceive. Unfortunately, the laparoscopy is the only way to have it definitively diagnosed which I didn't realise until recent years.

I'm so glad you have your little baby to look forward to. If it turns out later that you find you have endo, the doctor can put you on the pill or some other type of medication to keep it at bay until such a time as you decide you want another baby.

But of course I hope that that won't be necessary!
