Is my endo back?

Hi, I am 39 years old, diagnosed with endo after laparoscopy in 2007, but I am pretty sure I had it since I was 14.I had IVF treatment in 2008 and gave birth to my beautiful baby boy who is turning 3 in December.Since giving birth my endometriosis symptoms have improved tremendously, sometimes I go through first day of period without painkillers, something I couldn't imagine before surgery and child birth.However last 2 weeks I have been feeling really strange, on the day I think I ovulated I had stringy traces of blood in my discharge, and developed lower back pain and lower abdomenal pain which is not crampy but constant , its not unbearable but strong enough to affect my daily life and my mood ,back pain seems to be even worse at night, I cannot sleep or make my self comfortable,and have hot flushes and very often nausea and  feeling weaknes in my legs and lower back  .This has been going on for 2 weeks , I am due for my period in one day and I am wondering if this is just pms that goes for 2 weeks or my endo is back or even worse ovarian cancer.From what I found on the net its a bit hard to distinguish between endo and ovarian cancer symptoms and although I don't feel bloated I caan't help but worry.Just wondering if anyone has experienced similar symptoms and if they were endo related.Thanks

You probably should go see a doctor about this. Furballsmom is right about endometriosis, it is just not going to go away.

I don't know a lot about endometriosis, but from my understanding it is actually a lifelong illness, so I don't think its unreasonable to get rechecked.
