I am scheduled for laparoscopy Dec. 11 to diagnosis/rule out/treat endometriosis. Looking for any advice or experiences on the surgery/recovery. I have always had terrible, painful periods. H and I have been trying for 10 months with no luck, so my doctor is encouraging surgery. She said she feels fairly confident I have it based on my symptoms, history and lack of positive pregnancy. I am really conflicted on having surgery due to the risks but I understand the benefits to diagnosing and treating it as well. I am going to cross-post this in TTTC also.
