What were your symptoms?

Nicole

For a couple years now it crossed my mind that I might have endo. I didn't really look into it until after having my 3rd child, because as soon as I considered it before I was pregnant.

My periods are heavy, always have been. This last one was light compared to the usual but even then on my heavy day I went through 9 super plus tampons. 25 through the whole 5 day cycle. My usual cycles have 2 heavy days and are 7 days long. I get Anemia because of it so I take iron supplements.

In high school I had a specific day I remember being on the bathroom floor in school, calling my mom and telling her this pain can't be normal. She brushed it off, said I was being dramatic. Then at the end of the year I had what I thought was a UTI but tests showed that I didn't. Drs said I was making it up and needed to retrain my bladder. After I had my first child my bladder got a little better, but it got much better after I had my second child.

After having my second child I started having stomach problems. I was taking imodium daily just to leave the house. I ignored it, stupidly because I didn't want to poop in a cup or have any cameras in any holes😳 . Eventually it got better and I only had flare ups, which I still have to this day.

Now I'm dealing with migraines for my whole cycle and more. Nausea started after my 2nd child. My bloating is ridiculous lately. Am I crazy for thinking this is endo? Thank you in advanced. I have an appt tomorrow.
