I'm almost positive that the surgeon i saw is really the best you can get at least through insurance. I've seen some people say though that even endo excision specialists can sometimes not be as good as they claim. She has won all kinds of awards, did a fellowship in migs surgery with the DaVinci robot for a year, and has been awarded a master surgeon by the SRC. Is it possible that she's just not as good as it seems to imply?

How long after your expert endo specialist surgery did you get symptoms again?

I had my first surgery in February 2025 and she removed stage 2. Because of pain and an ultrasound that showed a concerning polyp I went back for another one September 2025. She removed stage 2 endo again. She also removed uterine fibroids and said the polyp wasn't there. Well the hysterscopy caused me to get an infection by an overgrowth of ureaplasma parvum which causes inflammation too. It caused itching and burning and done think it increases risk of miscarriage so we took a break from ttc again.

Now here I am like 9 months later and I'm in pain, not pregnant, and looking to get a hysterscopy only this time to remove yet another polyp (though this one is less concerning but my reg obgyn still thinks it needs to go if it's still there after my period).

I'm not sure that I'm ready for another lap. But when I am i can't help wonder if my surgeon just isn't as good as she says she is?

She's told me that without getting on bc it's much more likely it will regrow quickly and that she really prefers to place iuds during surgery or to do lap before ivf. But I've seen some people claim to have surgery and then not use bc and be fine for years!

I just am not sure what to think about all of this.

I feel like the amount and size of my blood clots during period are getting worse. I'm just wondering what's normal for you it if there's anything that's made it better or worse.

Just today I've passed about a dozen that are as long and thick as at least one of not two fingers. Then a bunch of really small ones like size of a dime or so. Is this endo related??

​

I haven't really liked into polyps and fibroids much but I have a history of that now too.

​

Ttc and it's been a rough journey.

​

Stage 2 endo removed with excision specialist twice now (6 months apart). It's been since late September now. I also had a hysterscopy to remove what an ultrasound showed as uterine polyp but my surgeon found uterine fibroids and removed those. The technician that for ultrasound is convinced I must've had both and had the polyp pass within a month between the ultrasound and the surgery. Now I have a polyp in the endometrial lining again. My doctor is hight shift this week and then out next week so i was told to just make an appointment for whenever she's back in town to discuss. Which last time this happened she didn't have availability for 2 months and with how much pain I was in I decided to go back to surgeon and do that second lap. Things are starting to get more painful again but I'm also really not sure if surgery again is good or not seeing as it doesn't last long.

Just trying to find some answers for the fertility issues as well as pain issues.
