Hi there! Although my pregnancy was a MMC in may last year i got pregnant after 10 months of trying, i was meant to have a laparoscopy to diagnose endo in june ‘18 but it was cancelled due to falling pregnant, i genuinely believe that because i relaxed massively and stopped “trying” because i knew i was having the op thats why i fell pregnant. I ended up having the lap
in Jan of this year and got diagnosed with stage 4 endo (i also have PCOS) because my bowel was stuck to the back of my cervix, they couldnt remove anything but he said because he knew i can conceive naturally that i should try again for a baby before having the op to remove it (he couldnt remove it the first time because of the risks and he had to speak to me about it first). My symptoms are: VERY painful periods, painful bowel movements, bloating, sharp stabbing pain in my ovaries, irregular periods and irregular bowel movements. Hope you all get your BFP’s soon!

Hi,
Your poor thing.. I honestly feel for you and the unknown of having it or not is quite daunting.
Endometriosis is awful for me, and it's ruined my life to be honest. I have continual lower back back, inner thigh pain (obturator nerve), pain when pooping, stabbing pains, pains that feel like my reproductive organs have Velcro on them, bloating too...
I have it on my pouch of Douglas, obturator nerve, bladder, left side cavity. I'm struggling to conceive now too even though I've had a multitude of physical and medical treatments. They diagnosed though a laparoscopy... which wasn't too bad to be honest! If you have suspicion that you have it, get a referral to a gynae from your GP as soon as you can..

Some ladies have a lot of Endo and no pain, some have minimal Endo and lots of pain... it varies from person to person. It's the scar tissue that has caused me so much agro.

Hope you get some answers Flowers

Questions to ask your doctor about Endometriosis

You may think that if you become ill you just go the doctor and they give you a drug to take away the illness

What if your Endometriosis is caused by things that you eat, or don't eat ?

Here are some questions to ask your doctors about Endometriosis:

  • What causes it ?
  • How will looking at it and scraping it help me get better ?
  • Could my illness be caused by things that I eat, or don't eat ?
  • What can I change about my diet and lifestyle to help my body repair itself ?

These are easy questions to ask, but very difficult for doctors to answer as they know very little about Nutrition.
It may be worth asking them to refer you to a Dietitian or a Nutritional Therapist, as they specialise in Nutrition.
If your doctor won't do this, try a search for BANT and interview 10 local Nutritional Therapists who have had success advising about Endometriosis before choosing which one to work with

Here are 3 well-proven natural ways to reduce the Inflammation that causes the pain of Endometriosis

* Increase your Vitamin D
* Increase your Omega-3
* Reduce your Omega-6

Here are some useful and relevant references:
Vitamin D Wiki
Omega-6/3 Ratio
Omega-3
What to do about Inflammation
ExpertOmega3

Some people have reported that eating specific foods like meat or dairy gives them an instant flare-up
Which foods make your Endometriosis worse and which help ?

I have endo- diagnosed with laparoscopy in 2015. You sound like you have lots of the symptoms but the only way it can be diagnosed is with the operation I had. If you do want children you will have to have tests in afraid. We were TTc for 3 years and didn't know it was pointless because I had endometriosis and my left reproductive organs weren't working properly so in the end conceived with IVF.
