I will be having a laparoscopy done later this summer to confirm my diagnosis of endometriosis. I have never had any of the hallmark symptoms of endo, which would probably explain why it's never been an issue for me until now. I was also on the pill for about 10 years, so any symptoms I might have had would have been suppressed I guess?
After four cycles of clomid I developed two large cysts (one on each ovary), which at first my RE thought were just physiological cysts. That was back in February. After many weeks they weren't going away, so I was referred on to a new specialist to investigate further. My new RE is fairly certain that they are endometriomas, hence the laparoscopy to investigate further and remove the large cysts and anything else they discover. I am curious to find out if there is any other evidence of endo ~ and happy that when they are in there they will be checking out the status of my tubes and uterus to see if there are any other issues before we move back to fertility treatments. We'll see what happens.
I am curious to hear what everyone else has to say as far as symptoms and how they got their diagnosis. This whole endo thing is all pretty new to me!
