Does Anyone Have Pain That Is On A Consistent Time Interval?

Hi, I started tracking my pains more closely a few months ago and discovered that they happen every 90 minutes or so and last 15 minutes. I became increasingly amazed at how consistent it was, to the point where when pain started I new it would ease off in 15 minutes. My pain always consists of inflammation, cramping (ovaries), bloating, and nerve pain (lower back), and sometimes nausea/dry heaves.

With some research I found that there’s a digestive process called “migrating motor complex”… read more

Ovulation Test As A Preggo Test??

Hey guys. So I've been feeling kind of off the last few days and I thought it was endo related. I've just been super tired and just pretty blah. I was just talking to my fiancé about it and how I've been super moody lately. Then we both wondered if I could be preggo. We didn't have any extra pregnancy tests, so I used an ovulation test and it came back positive. I looked online to see if you could use an ovulation test as a pregnancy test and it said yes you can. So now I'm wondering I'm… read more

Anti-inflammatory Diet Questions

Hi everyone! I met with the nutritionist at my OBGYN earlier this week. My endo excision last year has been very helpful with my pain. However, I still have a lot of bloating which can be uncomfortable at times, and honestly I just don't like how I look with it.

How Do I Get Treated Seriously In The Emergency Room?

It's been 1 year since my (second) lap, and a few months ago I had an ultrasound that showed it came back all over my left side. This week has been brutal. Pain all up my left side, intense pain in my sides near my back (I'm assuming kidneys because during my surgery there was endo all over my ureters), reflux that is killing me, fatigue that is even worse than usual (and the usual fatigue is horrific), and my belly just keeps getting bigger. I want to go to the ER because I KNOW that something… read more
