Hi everyone! So I recently visited my gyno because of excruciating lower back/ pelvic pain, and he says it seems it’s too soon for my endo to return after I’ve had a laparoscopy in November 2017, and after I was on the lupron depot shot about a year ago. It definitely feels like my endo has returned, but he’s skeptical and hesitantly agreed to put me back on the shot.

Wow, my story to a tee ! I was told for years it was in my head from my doctor , girl advocate for yourself no one feels the pain and discomfort you have! Ask for another dr. A gyno surgeon ! The sooner the better
I’m sorry you are dealing with that. Mine came back within 5 years and I had a complex cyst Had a second lap then. My Dr told me they aren’t able to remove all of it during a surgery.
