Is endometriosis the cause of my nausea?

Hi! I haven’t been diagnosed with endo but I’m seeing a specialist next week to discuss have an exploratory lap. I know someone who had all my symptoms and ended up with stage 4 endo so that’s why im going this route. I wanted to know if anyone’s main symptom has been nausea? I’ve been on a birth control pill (BCP) since I started my period at 15 (I’m now 28). I went on it because my periods were heavy, painful and two weeks long. I lived a normal life after starting a BCP. Once married I got pregnant 2 weeks after being off the BCP. After having our son and I got my period back while breastfeeding, I started having painful periods, those turned into extremely nauseating and somewhat painful periods. I decided to try the pill, it didn’t help. Tried Mirena and my body couldn’t handle it. SO MUCH PAIN. So we took that out. After the Mirena the periods got more nauseating. Now I’m nauseated every single day. I’ve had to quit my job, my family helps take care of our two year old and I am pretty much bed ridden with debilitating nausea which worsens during my ovulation times and periods. Ice had EVERY GI test/exam done. Even went to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota because nobody could figure me out. Have had brain scans and everything. I’ve seen three obgyns and they say I have “mommy tummy” WTF?! Anyways, has anyone had nausea as a main symptom? I have cramps and ovarian pain all throughout the month at random times but it’s the nausea I can’t handle. I’ve lost 20 lbs and weigh 105 on a good day. I just want my life back. Before this I was extremely healthy and active.

      Hi,

      I'm currently struggling with nausea, pain (abdo/back) and near constant bleeding (in the last 5 weeks, bleeding for 4 of those weeks!).

      I'd been having awful periods for months so I saw my doctor who sent me for ultrasounds, which were "completely normal". Doc wouldn't do anything but nurse practitioner put me on the mini-pill. This was only 8 weeks ago. Pretty much felt unwell everyday since.

      When I first went to the docs I suspected Endo, now I'm even more convinced.

      The nausea is so overwhelming, it's affecting my work and social life - I have to run to the loo all the time and just wanna go home and cry/sleep.

      Got another docs appt on Monday, hopefully reporting new symptoms might make a difference.
