Hi everyone. My name is Jenny. I'm 26 and was diagnosed with endo 3 years ago. I've had 2 laps, one was last Thursday. My first lap was a life saver. I was practically symptom free for a year an a half. Then the pain started to come back slowly until I couldn't take it anymore. I'm here because the lap I had last week wasn't nearly as positive as my first one. they weren't able to remove any endo this time, only a small cyst. I go today for my follow up and to discuss other treatment options. I've been married for about 9 months, my husband and I dated for about 8 years before marrying so we actually are considering pregnancy in the next few years, but we were hoping that this lap would give us a couple more years of no symptoms to get ready for kids. Anway, I'm here out of pure frustration. Endo is such a debilitating disease. I miss work often because of pain and people look at me like I'm just being a big baby. Every doctor I've seen has had a different outlook on the treatment options available. I guess I'm here to get advice from other people who are dealing with the same things I am. So it's nice to meet you all!
