Hi Sandy Feel free to ask any question & hopefully I will be able to answer them. A Laparoscopy is a procedure where they go through the belly button. They make a few tiny cuts & look around in there. They can see if it is endo or what ever other problem might be there. They use some type of a gas I think. Y ou are put out but I don't feel there too bad. It beats wide oprn surgery bc I have had that too & many & that isn't as easy & more recovery time. Lap is the best way to go.They even have robotic surgery to take out endo & adhesions & I was going to do that a few yrs back but got too scared. I wish you luck & I will add you to my team. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. hugs tigreyes

I know of ppl who have had children with endo but it depends. If you have a hysterectomy complete one then you won't but if they remove a cyst or tube or ovary & they are on opposite side, you will have a chance but not as great if they were on the same side. They will have to do a laparoscopy first to find out exactly whats going on. I know the wait is frustrating bc I've been there & done that but hopefully the time will go fast. If you need to chat I'm here for you. I wish you the best. tigreyes Welcome to our site.

Its not true what they say that if you have endo you cant get pregnant. My doctor says that many women with endo concieve normally without help. It all depends if your endo is affecting your eggs/tubes..
