Hi - some advice needed to confirm I'm not insane!
Newly married, 25 and diagnosed with endometriosis last year.
Always adamant we weren't having children until I was at least 30.. But since getting married I've become like a crazy lady - it's all I think about, dream about, all the time.
In recent months my endometriosis has become a daily struggle to control the pain so I'm not sure whether it is that that is pushing me more towards having children sooner? I had to come off all contraceptive hormones in August because of it too!
It doesn't help that my OH is very anti children at the moment - if I were to be pregnant, it would cause a huge divide.

Is this normal, or am I just broody? Broody way before and way worse than I ever thought I would be?
Help!

bobb - I always thought I was quite a strong person.. The last 10 months or so, with my endo, have pushed me to thinking I'm insane. It makes it worse when people say to me "I have painful periods, take some paracetomal!" Ergh! It's more than just painful periods...
I was advised to come off everything back in August.. Which I have, OH and I only use condoms (sometimes only to finish, as I can't stand them).
I can experience pain so severe sometimes, it brings me to my knees, I loose all thought process and just can't even talk... So I've been advised to go through with the menopause treatment - but I just feel the risk is too great. I'm young, no children and therefore it's not a risk I want to take. I've had one lap in September 2013.. I just don't understand why I'm not being given anymore options? It's either early menopause or deal with it... So frustrating!

Coming off the pill for me has thrown me completely.. I rang between cycles of 35 to 52 days. Currently on cycle day 39... Been cramping on and off for the last week as well as brown spotting for the last week on and off too.
This evening, I've been experiencing some intense cramping! My cocodamol isn't touching it - and I also passed a clot with a bit of watery, bloody discharge....
Nauseaus, sore boobs, dizzy. But BFN.

Have you experienced this before bobb?

It can be horrific and I would really encourage you to visit the website. The advice there on all treatments is really useful. In my experience though the menopause treatment is not permanent. It's pseudo menopause so letting your body believe it's in menopause so your cycle stops and the disease improves. When I stopped the treatment my symptoms slowly came back but I got some relief. Your gynae should be telling you what these drugs are so you can make an informed decision.
