How did you know you had endometriosis?

Question

Answer

I had pain seemingly all the time on my left side that randomly got better and worse depending on the day. The pain kept me up at night and had me very worried. I was popping ibuprofen like it was candy. Went to a bunch of doctors that all ordered tests that came back negative. Went back to my gyno for a second time and this time she mentioned that it could be endo since everything came back negative. She put me on continuous birth control to see if that would help. My pain vanished after 2 months of continuous bc and only came back if I missed a pill. With that information, my doctor was pretty sure it was endo and told me to come back for endoscopic surgery to diagnose for sure when I was ready to ttc. I had surgery in October, which seemed to help because my pain is a lot milder and less frequent and I’m completely off of bc and ttc.

I had a laparoscopy to diagnose my endometriosis.

After several months of trying to conceive and realizing my periods were super painful, I finally googled my symptoms. Unfortunately, the symptoms seemed spot on. Eventually it was confirmed and treated via my exploratory laparoscopy.

Answer

I figured since it’s hereditary at 13, I told my mom something wasn’t right and she said periods when you first start hurt bc you don’t know the pain of it. I got diagnosed at 21 when I had an ectopic pregnancy.

Answer

I was in alot of pain after my first son was born. Once i started getting my periods again, they were unbearable. I have always had heavy flow, long periods that were very painful but kind of accepted it was normal and was to embarrassed to tell anyone. I had surgery when my son was a year old and they confirmed I had Endometriosis.
