London clinic which specialises in Endometriosis?

My partner and I have decided we want to freeze embryos to preserve my fertility. I'm 33 and have severe endometriosis (to the point where it ate through my abdominal wall and I had to have it repaired with a graft the size of my hand). The pressure of doctors constantly asking me when I'm going to have children is too much. We're not ready yet but we'd like them if I'm able to.

Has anyone encountered a clinic which is good at conducting IVF on women with endometriosis? Most of them advertise that they can do so but I'm guessing that's very different to actually managing the condition well. I'm quite nervous that the high amounts of hormones triggered during the cycle could set it off growing again.

Thank you for any pointers you can give. :)

I’ve read somewhere that endometriosis is the main diagnosis in 35-50% of infertile women. With it being so common, I would imagine that all clinics would have a very good understanding of the condition.
If you’re looking for a very successful clinic in London, you could have a look at ARGC, Zita West, the Lister and CRGH.

Thanks JoJo. I'm sure they'll understand what it is but my concern, and what I've heard on the grapevine is that not all clinics take into account the impact of hormones on the disease when prescribing. I'll have a look at the clinics suggested.
