Could I Have Endometriosis?

Ever since I had my Daughter back in 2013, my periods have been a lot heavier and my cramps have been more intense. The biggest change that I've noticed is that when I stand for a few minutes or use the bathroom, I have intense pressure that feels like I'm crowning. The most recent symptoms I've had is dull pain my lower back, radiating pain in my lower abdomen, where my ovaries are and the pain radiates to my upper thighs. When it comes time for my period, I begin feeling dizzy and extremely sick to my stomach. I have constipation. I also have intense pain during intercourse; it feels as if I'm really tender on the inside and I have sharp pains. I've never experienced this before and now sure what it could be.

That makes sense because often when women are on BCP it masks the disease in this case it can mask both Endo and Adeno.

The hospital could but I am not sure if they would unless you went in with crippling pelvic pain...

Yes, I was taking pill. Since I do not have health insurance right now, would I be able to go to the hospital and have them run the same tests?

It sounds like it could be but also it is possible that it could be Adenomyosis. I would make an appointment with the gyno to make sure you aren't having a prolapse of some sort inside and an ultrasound to check for cysts/size of uterus.

Before you had your daughter were you on the BCP or anything like that?
