Any other endometriosis girls out there?

Question

My doctor suspects I have endometriosis. She says once it's confirmed, I need to get pregnant or back on birth control immediately. But I just had a miscarriage in February and I'm not ready to make that decision yet. I'd love to know your story. How  were you diagnosed? What tests? How is it treated? Are you still in pain? Any fertility issues? Thanks in advance!

Answer

My doctor suspected that I also had Endometriosis as well and I was scheduled to have surgery March 23rd to have to removed BUT ended up getting pregnant 💕 perfect timing! I am now 6 weeks!

Answer

I have it! I had a miscarriage first when they discovered a cyst the size of my uterus, barely hanging on to my ovary! So I had surgery and was told I would have a normal period, but should consider BC or becoming pregnant soon. I was on a timeline to have kids that soon after miscarrying. I got pregnant 8 months later and have a healthy toddler and now 2 month old son! I never got on BC because honestly I was in a committed relationship but now I'm married and actively trying. My first pregnancy was high risk due to miscarriage and endometriosis. It's a gamble each time and this I've come to accept. Miscarriages are difficult no matter the circumstances but I do realize this endometriosis is treatable and I'm now cramp pain free almost!  I used to have cramps that crippled me for days :(I think having children has made me normal in someway but I'm sure later on the road I'll be dealing with it all again soon! Good luck and sorry for the epic comment!

Answer

I have endo as well! :/ My dr was pretty sure I had it and found it when she went in to remove an ovarian cyst last year. I was scheduled for a second laparoscopy but my dr changed her mind & wants to wait longer since it hasn't been a year yet. I'm on the pill for it now and have a prescription strength nsaid.

Answer

I'm 23 and have endo. I went to the hospital because I was having really bad pain on my left side and I was discharging a lot of black/brown blood. They did an ultrasound and found 2 cysts on my left ovary. They decided to remove them due to the unbearable pain I was having. When the doctor went in for surgery he found the endometriosis and had to remove my left ovary. He told me I have to try for a baby soon or else I can get it on my right one. Me and my husband are going to try for the first time this month but I m worried it will be harder for me to come out pregnant /:

Answer

Me!!! Well the doctor thinks I have it cause of blood test. I had an hsg test and everything looked clear but doctor still thinks I have it. Only wait to find out for sure is a lap. Been trying for over a year and six months. I just want a bpf. I'm 30 bday is Sunday I would love to get a positive for it
