Looking for any advice and to see if anyone’s in the similar position,

I’ve never had any issues around my period or cycle, always been manageable and regular. I’ve been on different birth controls and all been fine.
I fell pregnant ‘easily’ and ended up having an emergency c-section due to baby being stressed out and as my waters had been broken for over 48 hours.
recovered, was all fine and my period became normal again. I found intercourse was painful, and because I was no longer on birth control we just didn’t do it anymore.
we planned for our second child and in the first month of trying we conceived. We had a planned c-section this time. During the section the surgeons don’t say much, but I was handed my perfectly healthy baby but during the de brief in the recovery room which is the first 45 mins after the surgery ( so your pretty emotional, adrenaline pumping and full of drugs too) I remember my midwife saying to me ‘that they couldn’t see one of my fallopians tube as it was full of tissue covering it, but they had cut the tissue away for now, but it’s something to think about if I want more children’ . I didn’t think much of it as having more children wasn’t something in my mind at that present time.
im now 12 weeks postpartum and have been thinking about this a lot. I’ve had one period since which was light and not painful after however since then I’ve had pelvic and groin pain. when I believed I’d be due on again, I’m now a week pasted that and nothing. Just very sore cramps, lots of aches. I’ve had pelvic and groin pain since the first period which was 5 weeks ago now. I haven’t had intercourse even tho I’m healed to do , I just know it’s going to be painful , especially with my groin and pelvic area already sore.
after a little research I’ve seen things like you can get endometriosis after c sections,
my signs are…
tissue over tube✅
2 sections✅
pelvic and groin pain✅
painful intercourse✅
i will be seeing a doctor next week to discuss how I feel and my concerns, as it could all be my body still healing and recovering and maybe I’m just over thinking it all. Has anyone had children then discovered they have it ?

It could possibly be scar adhesions rather than endo? After each of my sections the adhesions got worse. My last section (3rd) the dr said I was 'a mess' inside.
I get terrible pulling sensations in my pelvis, sharp pains, dull aches.
They told me that any abdominal surgery has high liklihood of forming adhesions.
