Thread: Need advice/Opinion about Endometriosis.. please..

I've always had periods that weren't normal, they lasted too long and I went to the dr. about it and was put on BC to regulate me and it did help that. I've had trouble with my periods since they first started when I was 14, I've had extreme pain with my periods from age 16 and I'm still having severe pain now. The pain is in my pelvis area and is a knife stabbing/very deep achy feeling, feels like someone put a heavy book on me, there is a lot of pressure and just a heavy feeling, and bloating too. The BC did help for a while but then it made it worse. The BC that I was on is called Lutera, and I watched a YT video that said BC with high amounts of Estragon made it worse every month, is this true? Based on my research I have a few of the symptoms of Endometriosis. I have the extreme pain, where I've thrown up before from it, I get nauseated every month, I have to take 600 mgs of Advil and sometimes Lortab or Tylenol 3. I also have to use the heating pad for 2 days straight, and I can't sleep at night without it on during my period. I get cold and hot sweats because of the pain and I get dizzy as well, my heart rate gets extremely fast, but that's only for 2 days, then my period slacks off and the pain gets better. I'm planning to go to the dr. soon about it but what can I do/what advice do you guys have for me before I go/what should I ask etc? Does this sound like Endo or something else? I'm 20 years old and haven't ever had sexual intercourse before either (not sure if that makes a difference). Thanks in advance.
