I was told my my doctor that I have endometriosis after having agonising pain all the time, shooting pains in my bum, feeling of my insides coming out my front parts, couldn't poo withought crying, pain in stomach feeling sick irregular periods I was on implant at the time.

I hope you are able to find a specialist and get proper help.
Thank you for your replies! I think I need to spend a bit more time reasearcing this and I didn't realise there was endo specialists out there to be honest! It's so disheartening though you go to the doctors for help an they tell you the most severe option and end you on your way! X
Agreed with above comment! Good luck
Surgery is the only way to get a definite diagnosis, unfortunately. Hysterectomy is not really a treatment; many women get hysterectomies and the endo still grows back. I don't know what surgery would do for your chances of conceiving, but it might be something to consider if your doctor suspects endo. I hope everything works out and sending you lots of magic baby dust :)
