Pregnant after surgery?

Has anyone here ever had endometriosis surgery? Me and my SO have been trying since August 2016, with only doing it when ovulating because my endo just causes pain majority of the time. (one main reason I'm having the surgery) My Gyno said the endo was more than likely just stopping us from getting pregnant or say, making it harder. I have a few friends who their experience was 1) had the surgery 2) literally 6+ months later ended up pregnant. I'm just curious to hear different stories and if it helped you with fertility, pain during intercourse, did it help your periods? How was the surgery recovery? 
I do know the endo can come back, but removing it is the only chance I have at curing it. My periods are truly horrific I beg to die although I don't really want to die LOL. Also if everyone could just keep me in thoughts that it is ONLY endo once they get in there and also think of me because I'm so nervous for surgery! Thank you guys so much!!
