I was told that my endometriosis could not be diagnosed without the laproscopy. My laparoscopy did not effectively help my pain. My endo was located where it can not be removed. The dr wouldn't take the chance of burning or cutting a hole in my intestines or rectum.

I got the IUD and it did help a little bit. But I eventually ended up on Lipton/ norethindrone. Which helped me the most.
