How many months should I try getting pregnant with endo?

I had a laparotomy done 7 weeks ago to remove a 6cm endometrioma on my right ovary. I was also diagnosed with endo.

My gyn told me that since I'm already 33, I should try to have a baby right now before going on any birth control pills or any shots.

But I am concerned that the cyst will grow back within these few months that I'm trying to become pregnant. How many months should I try before giving up?

I have gone through 2 menstrual cycles already since my surgery. My husband and I already tried to have a baby a week ago, and I am waiting to see if I will get pregnant this time around. If not, it will be my third menstrual cycle. Will the cyst grow back this fast?

What can I do in the meantime while I'm trying to conceive? How many menstrual cycles does it take before the cyst grows back?

So during the 2 years that you were trying to conceive, did your endo grow back at all?

How often did you go to your doctor to check if any adhesions has grown back?

I was diagnosed with Advanced Endometriosis when I was 16. My doctor gave me until 27 to have children. Every year since my chances have decreased and I hear a new age every time I go in. My husband and I tried for 2 years before concieving our son but all women are different. I wish you nothing but the best and I really hope you're blessed with a beautiful healthy baby! Good luck!!
