[quote=Anonymous]I had two laparoscopies - one in 2005 for diagnosis and again in 2009, due to the onset of pain and upon the recommendation of the RE prior to beginning IVF.  Between the two surgeries, I was on Depot Lupron for approximately 10 months and normal BCP for another year or so.  I think we tried for about a year before we sought help.

After the 2009 surgery, I became pregnant with my first without IVF (approximately 2 weeks following surgery).

I had my son in December 2009 and nursed for about a year, hoping to keep the endo from recurring during that time period.  Once I was finished with breast feeding, I had the Mirena IUD placed in July 2011 and immediately developed a tennis ball sized cyst.  My regular OB-GYN threw BCPs at me, which did nothing to alleviate the cyst.  Finally, I sought the advice of a doctor at the Duke Center for endometriosis.  She prescribed norethindrone which caused the cyst to dissipate on its own without surgery.

The IUD has been wonderful, but I am now looking at potential surgery due to pain recurrence and prior to possibly attempting a second pregnancy.

The only advice I can offer is to seek a specialist in this area.  The doctors in this area, unfortunately, are not versed in the treatment for this particular condition.[/quote]
