IUD removed and our dry spell is over!

I’m honestly not super sure why I’m sharing this, I’m just excited and maybe it’ll help someone else i guess. I have a 1 year old and got an iud at my 6 week appointment after having him. My husband and I haven’t had sex since shortly before my son was born. After IUD I’ve had literally zero interest whatsoever, wel...

Treatment

Post laparoscopy, What treatment did you choose and why? I have been diagnosed recently due to 5 years of pain and no diagnosis before. I have been told I need to be on some sort of contraception.
