Endometriosis and Preparing for IVF Cycle

Hi, I've wrote you back in March before my 2nd IVF cycle, and the cycle failed :( Now I am trying to be positive and prepare for the next cycle which I hope to do in the fall. Before that, I really want to focus on managing my endometriosis. I have a severe case and after 2 surgeries (2006 Laparotomy for fibroid and endo, 2008 Laparoscopy for endo), I still have 2 small endometriosis. After this failed IVF cycle, my pain seemed to start happening.(I never really had severe pain from endo, except pulling feeling cramp on my back and some bloated stomach) There are 3 questions I have for you:

1 Is there an effective herbal treatment for treating/curing endo? Some people recommend 2 different formula for 2 phases in period cycle, and other recommend tablet or liquid herb to take 2-3 times a day. Which one is more effective? Do you have such formula that I can do at home?

FYI, I am taking birth control pill, prenatal, cranberry tablet (I had frequent UTI last year and had Leep done for pre-cancerous cell), folic acid, and acidophilus.

2 Is there vitamin I should add/omit? I also didn't want to become like vitamin pill maniac as I a taking many already...Is there way to adjust this?

3 I know I should probably find a holistic doctor in town, but don't know where to start to find the right one. Do you have suggestions or source in New York City?

I am doing yoga, meditation and castor oil packs.
Thank you,
Mary
