Aa
THINK you have endo?...what are your symptoms?
Just wondering the different symptoms we're experiencing.
I havn't been diagnosed with endo...or anything for that matter!
Lets compare notes, here are my symptoms....
left pelvic pain for about 14 mos
right pelvic pain intermittenly for the past 2 mos (sometimes with left pelvic pain)
CONSTANT pelvic pain
back pain that sometimes wraps along my left side
nausea...everyday...all day for the past 2 mos
irregular periods for the past 3 mos (maybe before? i'm not sure because I didn't have a period secondary to nursing)
oh yeah..FATIGUE! how'd I forget that?!
But like I said, no diagnosis yet, I see my gyn tomorrow for my 2nd abdomenal/transvaginal ultrasound results and to discuss exploratory laparoscopy option...

Hey All!!
Just keeping you all updated, my exploratory laparoscopy is in 2 days!!!
I am getting a bit nervous but mostly because after this entire surgery I could still have no diagnosis :(
Anyway today is my last day of work then I will start some sort of bowel prep and continue with a light stool softner afterwards to prevent that lovely constipation!
I will keep you ladies posted!

Hi there
yes they really drag it out don't they ???
I also had 3 transvaginal ultrasound scans and each time a cyst would appear in a different place and of course they have to check it again a few weeks later because they are not sure if its a dermoid or not and if it has to be surgically removed ......finally they decided to do a laparoscopy and cystoscopy but the date is taking forever to come through ...I keep ringing them to annoy them lol
Ahh yes never did mine when I had the really bad pain but they caused it lol!!! Um yes they are hoping to see sites of bleeding inside you causing the pain um good plan hope that works!!!

We're doing my 3rd ultrasound I'm December and it's going to be done while I'm having the abdominal pain in hopes that it will be more telling than the last 2...he said if we're lucky he can see the endo on there before doing a lap...it's just a guess game and it's taking forever I hate it!!
Hi there!!!
Thanks for that :)
Was funny love to see his face if I told him to "shove it" he prob wouldn't understand as english isn't his first languageMy mum and I have a job understanding what he is saying normally.
My mum also suffered with heavy periods like me but had a hysterectomy quite early on so don't know if she would have got endo or not (probably )
Sorry to hear you think you have it too ?? Are you due to have an exploratory laparoscopy to confirm it??
My date for surgery hasn't come through yet but if they don't do it by 25th January the hspital will get fined and I will be lucky to have it done by next christmas :(

My mom had 3 kids and developed endo after that and just had her whole uterus removed b/c she didn't want anymore kids so tell your doctor to shove it! Now my doctor thinks I have it too...runs in the family...
Hi there !!
lol can you remember being young and carefree and pain free before the age of 13 ???
That is a really young age to start a life of pain.
I had very painful (bent over double at school ) periods from age 13 but I didn't realise then that it wasn't the same for everyone and didn't even see my doctor. lol
Luckily I went on the combined pill at 16 for other reasons :) and that helped a bit
