I’ve gone to my gyno 3x in a few months time. I went because I was so afraid I had ovarian cancer. Everytime I googled my symptoms OC was all that came up. I feel like I might get 1 week out of the month where I feel “normal”. My symptoms include bloating, night sweats, some pelvic pain but not severe, rib pain, extremely bad sciatic pain, hip pain, groin pain, thigh pain and clotting during my period. My gyno says it sounds like Endo. The 3 transvaginal ultrasounds I’ve had show nothing. The… read more
I know you posted this months ago but it is EXACTLY what I’m going through now! I was diagnosed with endometriosis 6 years ago but a lot of these symptoms are new and I’m convinced it’s OC so much so… read more
My gynecologist told me that she is certain I have endometriosis as well as pcos, with all my symptoms fitting them perfectly. But she also informed me that it would require surgery to confirm it so that I can get the treatment needed. I can’t take time out of work or college to do the surgery and life is miserable living it in pain and sleeplessness all the time. It’s not just a matter of missing out on work or school, it’s the money too. I can’t afford to be off more than a day, and I’ve been… read more
I can't answer why but I agree that it is ridiculous and unfair. I had the discovery surgery just to get told "yes you have it" and had to have the excision surgery 3 weeks later. Such a waste.
I had a hysterectomy in 2010. And in 2015 I started having severe gastrointestinal symptoms, like severe cramping, severe diarrhea, and constipation. I don't know if this is normal or if it's even endo? Any input would be great. Thanks.

Ahh yes I understand. at first when they told me my uterus “can’t be saved” I thought well let me try that anti-inflammatory diet first. They were doing a study with anti- inflammatory diet and… read more
Yes, my primary dr sent me to an arthritis specialist. They thought I had fibromyalgia since it’s a common inflammatory disease and I had symptoms over the course of a few months with extremely low… read more
Hello, I wanted to speak to people that have been diagnosed and how they knew it was endo. I've been going to the doctor due to lower left abdomen pain that has been going on for a year. Some days it's worse than others but when on my period the pain in my entire uterus and rectum is really extremely bad (for about 5 years now) It doesn't feel like cramps and sometimes I feel like I'm going to faint or like something is trying to come out of my because of the shooting pains but now my lower left… read more
I hope they find some answers for me when I see the surgeon. She's also an endomitriosis specialist so I'm really hoping they do everything they can to figure out what's wrong with me. I'm tired of… read more
Has anyone delevoped endo/symptoms after a c-section? I never had health issues or endo symptoms until I had my son via c-section in 2016. Took over a year to finally be diagnosed with stage one endo. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
Ugh hate that for you. Is there anything you do to alleviate symptoms during your cycles?
Does anyone else have problems with endo & urine leakage? I find myself leaking wee a lot. Currently waiting on next surgery for extensive endo
I have bladder issues and I have use bladder underwear and underpad on the bed
I had Laparoscopy surgery 6 weeks ago. They lysed a lot of adhesions that were on the bowel. I was feeling fine but the last week I am experiencing pain again. I have been told that they will come back but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this?
That's so true for me also I had the hysterectomy salpingo oophorectomy and still in pain. I have a endo belly now presently on Lupron 11.25 don't think it's working, seriously thinking about… read more
Hi everyone, I would like to know if there are any cases among you with stage 4 endometriosis, bilateral endometriomas with kissing ovaries and pelvic adhesions, who have achieved a spontaneous pregnancy or through IVF ? I'm just really worried :(
