If so, do you think 1 condition can flare up the other and ideas of causes and/or best ways to manage flare-ups and symptoms?
I have both. And yes I do believe the flare ups overlap/combine.
I just had sex for the third time ever but for the second and third time, I felt a sharp pain shoot from my butt and lower back. I didn’t feel the pain in my lower abdomen though. The pain was worse off when doing the doggy style. Is this normal during the first times you have sex or I actually have endometriosis.
I have had a laparoscopy and I feel the same way. Doggy Style is a hell no because it hurts so badly. The only way I can do it without pain is on my back and I have to take it slow at first no matter… read more

Hi I hope someone can help I've been to my GP he did blood test and my estrogen levels are low I'm 47 it's causing a lot of problems down below he has prescribed 10mg of vagifem weekly to help I was a bit concerned because I said to him I taught that estrogen feeds endometriosis he said it was fine because it is a low dose and I'm not taking it by mouth so it's just helping the problem below has anyone tried this before as I'm getting really depressed cause I've tried all of the creams and… read more

You're most welcome. Incidentally, I'm not sure where you are in your endo journey. Birth control can help, but really they just mask symptoms. It's important that your doctor tell you that it doesn't… read more
I'm 17 years old right now and have been dealing with chronic pain(abdominal and migraines) since I was 12. It started with dually migraines and then went into daily nausea. I went to every odctot possible and they couldnt figure out what it was. I have been in the ER too often to count. It went over too extreme abdominal pain more in the upper area and then in the lower area also. I was checked for gallstones through ultrasound and blood tests. I also had a CAT scan done and two upper and one… read more

Have you ever had a partner break up with you due to a lack of intimacy?
I hope things are getting better for you. I know how hard this disease can be. I will continue to keep you in my prayers!!
I can count on one hand the times that me and my boyfriend have had sex in the last year- sad I know
I just had excision surgery back in May and of course I'm terrified of getting back on the horse... seemed like an appropriate analogy. We have tried once since my surgery after waiting long enough and it still hurt but at the time I wasn't on any type of birth control so we had to use a condom and my fun parts have never agreed with most types. I'm thinking that was the main problem (more like… read more
Sorry to hear about your situation with your partner. My ex-husband is understanding of my condition and he is still supportive even though we didn't have sex. I believe education for men and eveyone… read more
