Hello everyone,
I am learning more about endometriosis before i go for my laparoscope to confirm if i have it. I have been having bad periods since 3 years now . I used birth controls when i was irregular and painful for 3 months and i got my periods back to regular but still painful . My severe stabbing pain on one side lower abdomen and leg starts on third day of the period and i have ended up in emergency room couple of times .

Definitely prep your bowels the constipation is horrible. Make sure to have Colace. Ice packs. I need soft food for the first few days because my throat hurts from the intubation. Make sure to have at least a week off work the first one they wanted me to go back in three days I definitely wasn't ready.
Ive had 4 laproscopy (3 for endo, 1 for gall bladder). Agree w/ someones comment on scar tissue but I had no choice. I believe my PCOS caused my infertility. W/ help of Specialist had 2 kids after 10+ yrs of trying. Have to rule out endo to proceed. Probably a week to recover 100%. But feel better after 3 days. Sleep in recliner after w/ shoulder pain until gasses get asorbed. Good luck.
Thank you @A MyEndometriosisTeam Member .. Very helpful suggestions .. i will make sure to have them all on my checklist !!
Been a couple years dont remember cycle being bad. Just follow your Dr orders. I do remember it being a week before I could do some things. But back to normal by 2nd week.
