Does it sound like I have endometriosis?

Brittany • Baby Mason is due on February 7th, 2017 ❤️ baby #1

Let me start off by letting you know that my sister has endometriosis, and my mother had to get a hysterectomy because her uterus would thicken instead of thin. Anyway, I am 25 and have been ttc and off of bc for 18 months. gradually, the spotting before my period has cone earlier and earlier. I now start spotting 8 days before my period. It starts out as a brown discharge, and gradually goes to dark blood. And then, i get a full period. So, im bleeding about 13 days a month. Every 3rd period completely kills me. My cramps are so bad that I am squating at work in pain. My rear end and tail bone ache. I get headaches and my eyes get fuzzy. Oh ya, and when I try to have sex right before my period is due, it hurts and is uncomfortable...

I have a doctor appt on the 22nd...

Any advice or questions I should ask my doctor?

Does this even sound like endometriosis, or am I being a drama queen?

The pain your experiencing sounds like what I had and I have endo. not sure about the spotting, I had spotting after my period but it sounds like that def could be a symptom of endo. make sure you explain everything to doctor and mention endo if they don't. sometimes doctors are not knowledgable about endo thus misdiagnose. good luck!

think is whether you've exhausted all pain management options and need surgery or are able to try more options. a
