Advice and info

Hi! I've both conditions too, having laparoscopy and hysteroscopy on tuesday to confirm. I found womenshealthlondon.org.uk helpful site. I'm going to try a merina coil, you can read about it on endometriosis.org/mirena. Hope that helps.

Support

I'm so sorry for your diagnosis. I also suffered with both & SO many other health issues. I was 22 yrs old when I was first diagnosed and it all went down hill for me from there. I have had laporoscopies, endoscopies, hystosalpingograms, etc, etc. suffered with stomach problems, infertility, chronic sadness, severe headaches, weight gain, etc. I am now 41 yrs old and FINALLY found relief over a year ago with a nutritional cleansing/detox program. I really believe that the reason I had so many problems was because my body was so toxic with all the prescriptions I was given over the years (I even worked for OB/GYNS for many years & had access to the newest meds)and I also believe it was because of poor nutrition, lack of vitamins, & minerals (this was probably the problem in the first place & then all the meds). I think it all finally took a toll on my body. Anyway, I think if I would have known to look into safe, natural alternatives from the very start, I may have saved myself a lot of years of pain & suffering. I'm no expert but I do know that for the first time in 19 yrs I no longer suffer from severe cramping, bloating, headaches, moodiness, & I even lost 2 dress sizes in 1 1/2 months by cleansing & feeding my body organic high grade nutrients, vitamins, & minerals like this system provided me. Try your best not to be put on so many meds that are very toxic to the body. I'm no expert but something has got to explain why this system that is loaded with organic high quality nutrients helped me so much. I wish I knew then what I know now. Good luck. I am here to lend an ear or shoulder if you need one.

Blessings,

Rose

No, but from what I understand it will keep growing. You just may expect more pain during sex...I had this before and after periods. When the doctor operated he told me I had a pretty bad case of it...From what I understood, quite a few women can be affected by this...Be sure and stay with the treatment and if it keeps growing it may hinder your child bearing years...TC, C

I'm so sorry to hear this. I have suffered w/ both of these things as well. My heart goes out to you. I've had the lap. as well. Endo has just become part of my life.

To answer lmkelly22 -- it is still possible to have a baby w/ endo. I have 2 wonderful sons!

Endometriosis

I was discharged today. I had to undergo 2 operations for my "kidney infections" before I was diagnosed with Endometriosis 3 days ago. My gynae told me my pain threshold was impressive because Im already at the advance stage. Is that a bright spot? Ugh! Severe case is his exact word.

Im 32, dont have any children, never been pregnant. I finally got out of a loveless marriage and so looking forward to building a new life, a new family with someone else.. The ironies of life really. I am trying to be optimistic here. But depression is getting the better of me at the moment.

I am having all the what if's now.. What if I knew the signs and symptoms then? Will I leave my husband then? I thought we didnt have sexual chemistry. Intercourse with him was unbearable. The depression, lack of sexual interests.. Everything that I thought was wrong.

Just needed anyone that will listen and guide me I guess. Im in a foreign country, No family close by, few confidantes.. I dont want to sink into depression. I know help is out there. But I am already booked for 2 more ops.. Im just tired of needles after needles.. Where do I go from here?

My heart goes out to you. I've been there hun. I'm sorry u r going thru all this. You're in my thoughts. It's great u r posting b/c that can really help. You're not alone. ~hugs~
