I had my lap on Thursday after 3 years of doctors fobbing me off saying I was too young to have endo etc... Woke up from my procedure in lots of pain, spoke to my gynocologist and surprise, surprise they found the endo & have got rid of it for now. He has told me to start trying for children asap to see if it has already effected my fertility.
I am now in a lot of pain recovering, I cannot walk for very long, I feel drained & nakered all the time & my insides are doing flips they don't know whether they are coming or going.
Hopefully this will get better once I reach the 1 week mark.

I have a daughter before I got endometriosis which I am very greatful for now more than ever. But yes I am really hoping to conceive once again but the doctors have told me it is likely my fertility has been affected by the endometriosis.
Hi there. I had the same, it took years an years of being fobbed off and they only took me seriously back in August as the pain had become constant throughout the month. I had my lap on 9th November. I was initially signed off work for two weeks, but ended up having one month of. I too was drained and exhausted. It took me two weeks to leave the flat. I got an infection which was unfortunate, however after my post op follow up appt three weeks later, i was still drained and my Gynae informed me that it was still the effects of the anaesthetic and not to go back to work until ready. I have been back one week but I was tired out but ok. Just do what your body tells you to do and rest as long as you need.
Mine was stage 2 and I was advised to go straight on Dianette now in order for me to stop it effecting my fertility a the pill will stop it growing (hopefully). Basically I would have to plan any pregnancy and take the risk of coming off the pill and it coming back. Everyone is different though.
