Endometriosis: Endometriosis is not diagnosed by laparoscopy in many cases. "Seeing" the implants is dependent on "looking" at the right time of the cycle, which is when menses are concurrent. Consult your gyn provider about oral bcp, which will significantly decrease your symptoms, while preserving your fertility options, which diminish considerably if the disease is not treated.
