To ask if this sounds like endometriosis?

I have recently been researching endometriosis and it sounds scarily familiar. I got my period at 9 years old, and have had most of these symptoms since then, some have worsened or are a more recent progression.
Does this sound like it could be endometriosis?
Extremely painful irregular periods, first day is usually intensely painful making it hard to work, needing to lay down curled up, stabbing nerve pain in legs, vagina and rectum, upset stomach, urgency to poo without actually needing to, painkillers do not work but sometimes an extremely hot water bottle makes it slightly better
Feeling nauseous
Episodes of deep, pulsating aching pain in flank/lower sides of back
Lower back pain, feels very achy especially when I stretch inwards or outwards
Random aches throughout body
Struggles with conceiving, 2 years of unprotected sex without conception
Prodding sensation in shoulder blades
Fatigue

Yes, it certainly sounds likely. I hope you can get taken seriously.

I have endo and have about half those symptoms.

Some seem very familiar but I've never had others. Presents differently for everyone so worth checking out.

Yes.

100%, don't be gaslighted into thinking this is normal to experience!
