Hi, I first went to the gynecologist about 6 months ago. After looking on the Internet with all my symptoms I though I could have endo. The gynecologist did a scan and looked at me and said I have a chocolate cyst of approx 7cm. To cut a long story short, I had laparoscopy surgery Friday last week. I´m still feeling a little sore which is to be expected and need to have the stitches out this Friday. During the laparoscopy the surgeon took away my chocolate cyst of 7cm by 5cm on the left ovary and found that my left Fallopian tube is block and was unable to save it. One of doctors came to see me in the hospital one saying I have level 4 endo and I should take the contraceptive pill for three months and then try to conceive for the following 6 to 9 months.If nothing happened i would have to see a specialist for ivf. I have read on the Internet that you should try to conceive directly after the laparoscopy as endo has the possibility of growing back and as I only have one tube and ovary working I´m not sure if I should waste time on the pill or if it is better to wait? I´m 30 years old and know it could take some time to conceive. Does anyone have any advise?
