In a response to an earlier post of mine, you mentioned that for you the laparoscopy wasn't an option for you (OK, so I think you expressed it in more interesting dramatic terms, but I can't remember what now). Is this just personal preference or have you heard of bad stuff in relation to this? I would much rather try the lap first before the hormone treatments, which from my reading sound sort of horrible.
I know that lots of women with endo DO get pregnant, so I am going to stay optimistic. I guess my concern is that if my current problems are all due to endo, then I'm in no shape to get pregnant unless they can treat it first. So that's another reason why I am pretty down, because I'll be worrying about stupid endo treatment at a point where I thought I was going to be thinking about nothing but trying to get pregnant.
I'm actually pretty upbeat right now. But, I have to admit, this is probably more because my mind has hit the "denial" button and I'm pretending I don't really have it. It's funny, I kept thinking there HAD to be something else in addition to the IBS, since I just couldn't get stable, but now that there IS something else going on, I'm trying to deny it. I guess maybe I was hoping it was a tapeworm or something. Parasites are so much more glamorous than uterine misbehavior.
