im 24 years old i started my period the day i turned 8 and had problems ever since. I had very bad period pains too much blood lost, fainting, sickness etc it wasnt till i was 18 i started to do something about it as i knew i couldnt go on anymore i got diagnosed with anemia then i had to have surgery due to a cyst on my left ovary which resulted in a left oopherectomy (left ovary removed) and they found endometriosis so lasered it away. that never helped as i was going back and fourth for another 2 years so then they re operated removed another cysts but from my right ovary and lasered me. Yet again still not worked im now 24 and had my last surgery in november 2014 and it was the biggest mistake of my life ive never been so ill i have chest/ breathing problems back pain chronic period cramps and the blood loss was unreal i had to go into hospital when i bleed it was that bad. For last 4 months i have been on a pre medicated menopause injection and yes its help bleeding but still feel really ill and no one is listen to me anymore and i have no idea what to do im severaly deprest beacuse of it and i suffer everyday so cant do much or go out. i have a scan monday 3rd august 2015 to see whats happeneing ive had bloods taken every 3 months for past 6 years as my anemia is really bad. im now waiting for an urgent appointment to my specialist to see what needs to be done but he keeps telling me to have a baby so im going out of my mind i wounder who else is having the same trouble as me and can give me a little advice as i dont know what to do anymore sorry for the essay

    I feel you honey, and to be honest I had tears in my eyes when I reading your doctor said to have a baby. I have 1 amazingly beautiful 7 year old little girl, and only wish my doctor would have told me the same years ago, as we've tried for 6 years to have another, and well let's just say for people with severe endo, it's hard the older ie worse it gets.

    The worse seems to be your anemia? I live in Louisiana, and there is a man that sits on the board of research for Endometriosis foundation, he said my anemia is due to endo as well. Mine isn't as bad though. Google if there is a Endometriosis Spealist near you.

      That is interesting. I have just been told by my gp that my iron levels are low and when I asked her if it could be connected to the pain I am having (through Endometriosis) she seemed to think I had asked a strange question. Glad to see that I am not quite so silly as that could be the reason. Thanks for posting this, I will ask her again when I have my next appointment.
