Butt And Lower Pain During Sex
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

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.

How Do You Ladies Shelter Your Partner From The Emotional Ups And Downs?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I’m very recently diagnosed and it’s been an emotional roller coaster the past month. I have experienced significant stress and depressive episodes the past few weeks and I can see that it’s taking a toll on my partner
He is beautiful and trying to be supportive and trying to “stay positive” for me but last night he told me it’s getting him down and he’s now “numb to it”. I can see he is struggling. I now feel guilty and scared to show how I’m feeling as I don’t want to be any more of a burden… read more

Endo, Solo Travel, Camping???
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

At the end of August there is a retreat I want to take but that is a right around the time my period usually is. It's a woman's only Retreat so I would not be going up with my husband. I would be camping for that weekend. I don't want to let endow ruin this for me but I want to feel secure with going before I pay for it. Any suggestions on how I could make a trip like that more Endo friendly?

Is Endo Severity Similar In Family Members?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I've never posted here before but I'm feeling stressed out with trying to conceive and worrying I've got endo like my mum. I have not had an official diagnosis but my gynaecologist says it sounds like I do have it. My mum went her whole life without an official diagnosis and they only found it when they removed her ovaries due to ovarian cancer risk. She had heaps of endo and sticky cysts everywhere. I am turning 31 this year and have a lot of the same symptoms as my mum did at the end of her… read more
