Is this endo?

Question

Hi, in the past 5-6 cycles I notice I have cramping kind of pain after I ovulate for about 10-12 days. It goes away after that when AF arrives. Periods are pain free. Prior to this, I have not experienced any kind of pain whatsoever during my cycle or my period. Could this be endo or something else? My cycles are regular at 33 days. Last July I lost a baby at 20 weeks due to PPROM and this pain started after 6 months this feb. TTC my rainbow baby

Answer

I have endo and the symptoms are exactly what Meg described. Some months are better than others but I am typically in pain 3 out of the 4 weeks every month. It is common for me to not be able to get out of bed and due to my very demanding job my doctor prescribes a very potent dose of Vicodin. It's the only way I've been able to function. My husband and I have not been able to get pregnant and because of this I am considering surgery. Additionally, like Meg said, sex is painful more often than not. Hope this helps!

Answer

hmm I'm not sure, normally with endo women really suffer throughout their periods. these are my symptoms:
​extreme pain during periods (bed ridden)
​pain/cramping throughout my cycle - not as bad
​pain when going to the toilet (shooting pains in bum)
​constant fatigue
​shooting pains during sex
​
​is this similar to your symptoms? I do also get ov pain, not sure if that relates to endo tho. keep in mind that everyone's syptoms are different and please see a doc if your concerned!!

Answer

Ree, maybe see a doctor? if the pains are bad enough that they are effecting you, it is definitely worth getting a docs opinion on!

Answer

Hmm in that case I doubt if my symptoms are related to endo

Answer

Hi meg,
​
​I do not have pains during AF or sex. It's mild cramping pains from the time I ovulate till about another 10-12 days. Otherwise my cycle is regular.
