Diagnosed after suffering horrific pain from age 10 - 34. I was fortunate that the depo relieved my symptoms.

I am after some advice I finally had a laparoscopy 17.03.2017 and was diagnosed with endometriosis after a long hard draining fight with my gp and local nhs. I have been on no contraception since November 2016 and have not caught pregnant. Since my operation I have been in pain and told as per the last 12 months take ibuprofen and Co codamol by my gp, my follow up appointment with gynaecological is on 4.07.2017, almost 3.5 months since my operation. Has anyone caught pregnant after a laparoscopy and if so how long did it take? I plan on discussing this with gynaecology but I am yet to be advised how severe the endometriosis was. All I was told when I woke was we found endometriosis and removed what we could. Unfortunately I was out of it and thought I was dreaming as throughout my whole experience I advised them my mother had endometriosis that resulted in a hysterectomy but was told it's definitely not this as I wasn't having periods.
