@sandra my surgeon said the same but said he would do the lap and remove what he could, luckily he was able to easily see and get to the cysts in my ovaries as they were sitting on the outer edge of the inside of the ovary, he said if they were deeper he would need to leave them as he also did not want to damage my egg reserve. Maybe a second opinion could help with your decision, it Definately is a hard one!

Hi! I agree with Alanya! Me and and my husband had been trying to conceive for some time and I had always had the worst most painful periods since a young age and pain & major fatigue throughout most of the month, finally at the age of 28 i was diagnosed with endo, this was in Jan 2018. I was told I needed a lap to see the extent of the damage and removal of any cysts etc. The list was around a 6 month wait but I was lucky enough to be able to go private and had the surgery in Feb 2018. Please go back and ask for a laparoscopic surgery, I know you have to be seen to have been trying to conceive for two years before they will help via the NHS for IVF, I had the op in Feb and managed to start ivf in the June, I really had to be on everyone’s case to get something done. It is hard but do try to push it with your doctors, best to try and get it under control before or surgery out of the way before being able to go through your IVF if required. Also, diet wise try cutting down on foods that cause inflammation - Especially caffeine if you can! Let me know if you need any other help!
