Women with multiple laparoscopies- how far apart were they done?

I ad a laparoscopy during my fertility issues and the dr found and cleaned out a ton of endometriosis. That was 3 years ago.

About 9 months later, the pain started to come back (I know what the endo pains feel like and I am sure it is what the pain is from). Lately, it has been bothering me almost all month long... it used to only happen around ovulation and my period.

I have been on the lupron-depo shots to control it, but at this time it is not what is best for me (need my cycle to be normal).

I was wondering how many years did you wait before you had another one done? I have 3 small children and do not really want surgery, but it's painful and I want it to STOP!!

Thanks a bunch!!

Update:

Yes, my dr is aware :) We were TTC and she didn't want to do another one and then I had a c-section last year so we needed to wait until that was healed. Just was wondering how often people get them and looking for experiences! Thank you!!

    You should really see your DR. you probably do need another laparoscopy. I had 2 done within 2 years. If you wait to long other problems can develop that could lead to a hysterectomy. Since you are having pain already it is important to see your Dr asap to make sure nothing else is going on. Tell him the shots are not doing the job. That surgery is minor compared to a hysterectomy trust me I've had both.

    Sounds like you need the surgery. The recovery from the surgery is less debilitating than the all-month long pain from endometriosis. I had 2 laproscopic surgeries done. Mine were done 15 months apart during my fertility struggles. Good Luck!
