They found my endometrioma on my right ovary has increased to 5.45cm. The clinic said I can have transfer as the cyst wont impact implantation but it might be a problem if it ruptures in the future. I have contacted my GP to try to get a lap but have no idea how long the waiting time might be. Can anyone tell me? I'm in West London. Should I have lap first? Clinic said it's up to me. Lap will impact ovarian tissue but I am not using my own eggs so I don't really care.

Hey Rainbowhope!
I cannot answer that question, only share how I got treatment.
I am based in the Netherlans where most of the doctors think surgery is not needed for endo, even if you have a 5cm endometrioma. Since I couldn’t get proper treatment, suffering and unable to work is not a good enough reason to be taken seriously, only a childwish would have been- so I went elswhere. Found Nancy’s nook facebook group and had an excision surgery in Romania in a private hospital. The waiting list was about 1,5minth long. That was doable. And the endometrioma was cut out, not just drained.
My health insurance covered most of it, and I have no regrets.
Good luck and all the best!
You need an experienced and highly skilled excision surgeon to drain it and excise it completely. Ovarian reserve won't be impacted too much. I suggest looking for a surgeon from the Surgeons International list in the Nancy Nook group on Facebook, as suggested before me.
