Endo Symptoms


Another Endometriosis Link


I have endometriosis, which was diagnosed with a laparoscoy procedure this past January. My main symptoms were highly painful periods, extreme lower back pain during my cycles..but after a while I was having severe pain in my lower abdomen/pelvic/back area all cycle long. Not to mention I was having no success at TTC for 6 months, and my cycles were increasingly irregular (now mind you, having irregular cycles are not necessarily indicative of having endo .. but for me it was just another factor)

Unfortunately, no 2 cases of endometriosis are the same and everyone's symptoms varies.. but some of these symptoms gave my OBGYN cause to think I may perhaps have endo.. I will stress, however, that the only certain way to accurately diagnose endometriosis is to have the lap procedure done.. and really, the lap procedure isn't bad or painful at all. Since having it done and having the endo removed at that time, I have felt nearly 100% better with all the symptoms described above

Good luck !

Felicia...thank you so much for posting this. I just want to point out, that a lot people avoid laproscopic surgery ,....and continue on many different unsuccessful fertility procedures.

A friend of mine,...had been seeing an Re for quite some time...she was constantly being inseminated......and taking various medications....she switched Re's and that Re did laproscopic surgery ....and they found....advanced endo...she had a severe case. The doctor, told her, that there was no way, she was going to conceive based on what he found...he was able to clear most of it....and now she is ttc, and hopefully going to be successful. Her symptoms were very mild, she just suffered backache pain during AF. There was even endo in one of her tubes....
