Endometriosis?

26 replies

I'm 31 and have had two kids in the last 5 years. Before kids my periods were fine.

In between baby 1&2 I noticed twinges around my left ovary. Always the same place. Like a mild pulse. Told drs and scans are clear.

After baby number two periods became the devil. Heavy. Clotty. Period pains on day 1-2. Lasting 7 days.

I'm anemic and vitamin d deficient.

I'm always spotting. I get cramps around ovulation. Sometimes i feel random mild heavy sensations in my womb when I sit down.

Scan showed no cysts and one tiny fibroid.

I get random nausea alot! I feel weak alot. I'm fatigued alot. I've kept a diary and I've felt symptoms on 18 days out of 31 days. Some I'm just abit yucky and tired. Others im in bed sickly, weak and miserable.

I took the mini pill for one month and my symptoms have been worse since stopping them 9 weeks ago .

I also get tailbone pain for no obvious reason.

Tonight everything I read points towards endometriosis. I don't get agonising pain but I get alot of symptoms.

Any advice? Dr is doing bloods to check my ovaries and I have no idea what she means. She's also suggesting I'll be referred to gynocology. So the balls rolling.

What's the outlook if it's endometriosis? Will I be fatigued and sick for life?

Last week I started on visanne/dienogest which is supposed to regulate my oestrogen and therefore limit the endometriosis symptoms. I still have this sore lump on my c section scar and yesterday noticed a huge bruise has appeared on my stomach, just above the scar line. Rang the dr who said endometriosis shouldn't cause bruising and she would like to see me, after an examination she suggested that the inflammation in the scar had caused a vein or artery to rupture which had caused bleeding beneath the skin. Hope the new medication starts working soon
