I am very sorry but I have had the marina coil twice and I still have had Endo return! The first time I had it inserted was after my first laporoscopy and struggled with it for three years. I bled all throughout and also had extreme pain so I eventually gave up. At my 2nd lap I have more Endo that was removed again even after the marina. Also during my 2nd lap I had another marina coil inserted but this time I was given hormone treatment on top of it as well as having my cervix quarterised which did actually stop my bleeding but not my pain. I have my third lap in December to see if any more Endo has grown so I can keep you informed of that if you would like to know. But I certainly don't think it prevents Endo from growing but we are all different and may be this procedure will work for you. If you are still bleeding on the marina coil it will be a good indication that your Endo is still growing, I would advice you go on more hormone treatment to prevent that happening, but because you want a child this wouldn't be the best method for you. I actually can't understand why a doctor would insert the marina if you are trying for a baby as it really is not the best method in my opinion. You really need to get in touch with people like yourself who have the same illness but are trying for a baby as they will know the best methods for you to use. Good luck and sorry I haven't been very positive.
