I have been waiting 9 years for a diagnosis and I haven't had an MRI but am waiting for a possible laporoscopy but it could take months to hear back, how do I go about an MRI to maybe see if that can confirm endometriosis.
All I gotta say is fight for your diagnosis! After previous Laproscopy and operations they still didnt find anything... until sept 2023 I went to the emergency for severe pain and vomiting they ended… read more

Hi Everyone!
I just stumbled upon this site and I’m so glad I did! I’m 33 years old and was diagnosed with endo when I was 18. I had a laparoscopy shortly after diagnosis.

Oh definitely….. I agree
I have both but am new to my endo diagnosis so would love to hear from other people!
I havent been diagnosed with endo but i think i may have it.

My mum was diagnoses with endometriosis and she recently got a hysterectomy so i was wondering if there is any chance i could have it? Im scared to go to check it out as the thought of someone just looking down there scares me for no apparent reason you know?
don't think so my mother sister all aunts on both sides have children and normal on the other hand i am the only one with big chocolate cysts and kissing ovaries but i don't wish it on my worst enemy
What were your symptoms and how you were diagnosed MRI or CT scan?
We only had TVS and i have both. The bloating is terrible
Yes I believe so. I have Long Covid and though living with Endo has been hard for years it’s really been consistently unbearable and ruining my life since I had Covid. Of course i can’t prove a… read more
