Exactly the boat I am in had my lap in October 2017 and it's now January 2018 and most of my symptoms/pair are back in full force. I did not/have not taken anything hormonal to help keep it at bay I have been off bc since 2008, I hate it it messes me up! Sorry ur having pain again, but good to hear I am not the only one.

Thanks! I'm on birth control but it still is earlier compared to most. I just started cycling my pills to see if that helps. I understand the fatigue. I hope your journey gets easier!!

My symptoms started coming back slowly about a year after my lap (I was on birth control), calmed down for a while, and then have been back over the past four months or so. I had my lap about 19 months ago. My fatigue is the one symptom that never really went away even after surgery. I'm sorry to hear your pain is coming back :(

After the first lap, my pain came back in about three months. The following lap, two years later, the pain is coming back slowly, but not in the same amount of force. I am not on birth control, but my doctor gave me pain medication to take the edge off when needed as well.

It was about the same timeframe for me. My period was lighter and less painful, but about 3 months in it all started to get worse again . I'm not on birth control, and I don't want to be, but my doctor gave me some muscle relaxers that take the edge off and helps me sleep.
