does anyone here suffer from endometriosis? what were your symptoms? Did you have the test done to diagnose it? (the one where they insert a camera through your belly and take a peek) did they remove any of the "sluff" while in there? If so, did it work? I think I have most of the symptoms, we've been ttc for 2 years 8 months, we've been to a specialist and had all the tests for infertility done, we're down to the endometriosis test and insemination. I don't want to go through insemination if it's not going to work because of endometriosis but I really don't want to have the test done if it's not going to help. Arg! this is frustrating!:arg

I don't have it, but I just wanted to say I hope you figure everything out and good luck TTC :hugs

I ahve endometriosis. I was officially diagnosed last september during a laprascopic surgery to remove my appendix and a ruptured hemorrhagic ovarian cyst. They removed as many of the implants as they could during the surgery. So far, I have had less cramping/pulling and other issues occuring, but I am only a few cycles out.

i also have it. I found out when i was gettiny my cysts removed. they stuck a ittle camera in my belly button and made 2 incisions by my ovaries. the doc even took pics and let me see. He caught it just in the beginning. I get really bad cramps before my period. so bad sometimes it hurts to move even a little. I have bad back pains also. Theres a surgery to get it removed, but they also say to get rid of the pain is to get pregnant...but when you have endometriosis, its hard to concieve.
