Help anyone know about Adenomyosis?? I am 38 and want badly to have a child suffer from endo have had several surgeries.  The Endo was never in the tubes or the uterus.  Went off pill which was helping to treat the endo try to get pregnant.  Missed a period for 2 months then got one very heavy and this month been bleeding most of the month started as spotting thought perhaps implantantion bleeding but was not.  Ultrasound diagnosed Adenomyosis on course of Progesterine Dr said this would  help stop the bleeding so we could continue to try getting pregnant the bleeding has actually gotten worse any help or stories anyonw can share really depressed, scared and upset want this bleeding to stop and to be able to get pregnant.

In some women, adenomyosis is "silent" — causing no signs or symptoms — or only mildly uncomfortable. But other women with adenomyosis may experience:

    * Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
    * Severe cramping or sharp, knife-like pelvic pain during menstruation (dysmenorrhea)
    * Menstrual cramps that last throughout your period and worsen as you get older
    * Pain during intercourse
    * Bleeding between periods
    * Passing blood clots during your period

Your uterus may increase to double or triple its normal size. Although you might not know if your uterus is enlarged, you may notice that your lower abdomen seems bigger or feels tender.


See this gets confused with endometriosis...  Alot of woman describe this stabbing pain and they find no help with it... but my sister had her doctor do something that got her pregnant after trying everything for 10 long years....  She had her doctor put her through menopause...  then they stopped it started her on birth control to help regulate the flow... 6 months later shes prego!!!!  Dnt get depressed and dont ever worry itll make things worse stay positive and ask your doctor about what I wrote... it cant hurt and anything is worth a try... GOOD LUCK HONEY!!!!
