How do i know what stage i have of endo i have?

[nickiemcelroy]

docs have been very brief about how advanced my endo was so unsure now

You could go to your GP and the hospital should send details to them. Mine endo was said to be moderate after having a laposcopy.

i have asked GP but she was very unhelpful, after reading up on it i think i have moderate also a had adhesions causing bladder and bowels to get stuck to uterus this is all i have been told though, i am TTC so it would be useful to know how advanced it was so i could estimate how much this may affect my fertility the only positive is that i am having regular AF so hopefully this is a good sign

My understanding is that stage 1 endo would be small patches seen increasing up to grade 4 which involves endo being seen on the other organs (bladder. pelvis etc) and the pelvic organs being 'stuck' together. I would have thought with what you've written, you are probably grade 3 or 4 but your Consultant would be able to confirm.

I got what stage it was after the laparoscopy, im not sure they can really tell without that
