<br>
<br>
Has anyone had this operation? I really don&#39;t know what to expect. I&#39;m booked in for it on 16th December. So I&#39;m starting to worry now as it is
near to Christmas and I&#39;m worried about recovery.

<br>
Sorry I haven&#39;t posted for a while. I have been reading posts though.
<br>
Well my urology appointment is finally tomorrow. I&#39;m getting really scared now as to what they are going to say or do. It seems like ages when I had my

<br>
I am after some information for my dear sister who lives in Leeds.

She has been diagnosed with endo and is ttc. She is considering going to see an endo specialist to see if she needs another lap (her first lap was in August
2008) before continuing to ttc or further fertility treatment.
<br>
<br>
Can anyone recommend an endo specialist up north? My sister lives near Leeds but she would be willing to travel. Names that come to my mind who I have heard
good things... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well after 18 years I have decided to hand my notice in. I found the Decapeptyl just took the last remaining reserves of energy I had out of me and feel
totally exhausted. I have finally admitted that working with 2 young kids and a chronic illness is just too much. It is a really scary thought but I know it is
the right decision for both myself and my family. My boss has been fantastic and so supportive but she doesn&#39;t have the magic wand that I need to help keep
me going.
