Hi there! Have posted before re endometriosis- finally spoke to a specialist last year who confirmed that all of my symptoms are basically classic endo and therefore it's a very likely diagnosis. I had the mirena coil inserted (had been on the pill since I was a teen but came off it when TTC and didn't want to go back on it post baby as I didn't like the side effects) and it seemed to really help for the first while but over the last few months my symptoms have been coming back, and I have also been having some new symptoms. This month for example I had pain for about a week before I started spotting- general lower back and pelvic pain, as well as discomfort when my bladder was full, and bad fatigue, which I used to have before, but on top of that I've started to get more and more pain in my bum, both a sort of cramping feeling but also stabbing/shooting pains that stop me in my tracks. I have also had a sharp pain in what feels like my left ovary on and off for the last few months. Does anyone know what the next steps are? Do I go back? Will they just send me a way and tell me to persist for a year? It took me almost 20 years to even get to a stage where someone said "oh yes, this is probably what's wrong" so I feel sort of preemptively exhausted at the idea of having another (albeit as of yet imaginary) battle on my hands... any advice would be welcome!
