Endometriosis Pain Vs. Pregnancy Pain

I have always been very curious to know the difference between endometriosis pain and pregnancy pain. After I heal from my surgery on Thursday I will be trying to get pregnant. I would like to know what to expect when it comes to labor pain. It may sound weird but I feel like once I go though labor I can more accurately describe my pain level to people.

I have a vaporizer that I use on extremely bad days and a family member who is a chef has begun working with edibles.

Is It Endo? The Game Show Where We Try To Decide If It's Just Endo Screwing Up Our Day, Or If There's More Going On...

Headache, severe dizziness, pounding heart, drop in body temperature, large wave of fatigue. Also nausea and a bit of loopy-ness, if the heading wasn't any indication.

Hi Everyone, I'm About To Ask A Very Personal Question And I Don't Expect Anyone To Answer.

If you aren't embarrassed by my question I'd appreciate knowing if anyone else has the same experience. I have issues with having sex, the majority of the time it makes me feel sick in my stomach, I luckily have a very understanding bf. Sometimes when I feel that internal sex will be to much we go for the external pleasure (clitoris). But even this causes pain sometimes. Does this happen to anyone else? My doctors are very coy with giving me answers to anything.
