My doctor and I have decided that the benefits outweigh the risks in my situation. I will probably end up on some sort of pain medication throughout an entire pregnancy.

Look up castor oil packs for endometriosis

Depends for how long you take them. For the first 1-3 days of my cycle I have no choice, I'll just en up in the ER screaming with pain if I didnt. My doc figured it's better to take them and get over with it.Altho, if if was a bigger part of my cycle than a couple days I'd talk to my doctor about it.
