I had endo pain pretty bad for a few months, then it just stopped. Now it's at random times and the pain lasts minutes to days. I never know. I'm noticing these last three months I get endo pain the day after my period. Which is the week you normally ovulate. Sex is also excruciatingly painful. Those are my most common symptoms. And I haven't been diagnosed either.
