Severe Endo and Pregnancy

I have been diagnosed with severe endo, it is on my organs. The 1st laproscopy operation was unsuccesful as the endo was too severe for the doctor (he is a fertility specialist) to operate. I am currently on Zoladex to put me through early menopause to try reduce the endo. The Zoladex is terrible I have hardly slept at all for the last 2 months as I was awake up every hour or so dripping in sweat. The doctor is operating again at the end of next month, but is flying another doctor in to help with the operation due to how severe it is. I am currently in a long term relationship of 3.5years and will hopefully be engaged in the next few months. We will only be able to get married next year sometime and then only will we be able to try have children. We are both desperate to have children. Will I be able to fall pregnant and is the best time to try straight after the operation or not. I am currently 29 years old. I would appreciate any feedback at the moment.

Hi I have endo and starting trying for a baby right after operation and conceived right away and went onto have a big baby girl. Was great to have no endo pain for 9 months then I got pregnant again 3 months later (sadly miscarriaged) but now pregnant again, 1st baby is 10 months. My endo was never been as bad following the 1st pregnancy! Good luck x
