Hi, im new to the site but looking for support.
4 years ago it all started. Painful periods is what I thought at first, but every month it got worse and worse. 18 months ago it resulted in defeat and went to the gps on 3 different occasions and they did nothing and was told 'it's called being a woman' . I gave up!!! Didn't go back!!!
Until 6 months again it got so bad I NEEDED help. They sent me for a scan and was told I had fluid above my uterus. Refered. In the last month I had a hycosy, internal and 3 blood tests. I now been told that my left tube I blocks but everything else looks ok so it's endometriosis and I'll need a laposopy.
Will this help with the pain i have every month that brings me to tears and b early able to walk.
Feeling apprehensive, scared and very low at the moment.

So confused. Pain and baby or no baby but no pain. Impossible decision

i had had lap on 8/13 and at that time the doc discovered the endometriosis. It was after two periods from hell that he decided to go in and see what was happening. I never had any pain and he said that was due to the endometriosis being located where it was. One chocolate cyst and another that was leaking yellow fluid. Gross! Polyps on my uterus-it's a mess in there. He's hoping this will help and said it can be controlled with meds. However, the thought of being on birth control doesn't appeal to me.
Surgey was easy. No need to fret about that part. As fast as you fall asleep you're waking up the next moment. I would recommend a stool softener since pain meds are difficult on your system. I only took them for the first 36 hours and was fine after. I went back to work after two weeks. Give yourself time to heal. Rest when you need to. Even though the surgery is minimal your body needs to recover. Don't over do it.

2 weeks off work. Wasn't expecting that. Where you signed off? I have a very active job but wasn't expecting to hear 2 weeks off. How long was you actually in hospital for?
It's good to hear other people's experiences. Although I know they lots for affected by it, to hear it first hand makes me realise I'm not alone. Feels good to talk to people that understand. Think most people think it's a bad period.

Had a bad month this month. Aches and pains, sore hips, back ache, mild stabbing in lower abdomen, lightheaded, headaches, very tired. And all after period and before ovulation. Feeling very low.
Still waiting for a date and feel like no one understands and can't talk to everyone.
Just wished to say my feelings somewhere
