Endometriosis?

Hi everyone. I'm looking for ladies that may suffer from this condition as I'm seriously considering the possibility I may have this. I want to see if my symptoms match anyone else's
• Period pain all the time no matter what day of my cycle I'm on.
• Painful ovulation.
• History with an ectopic pregnancy.
I'm also having episodes of severe pelvic pain.
This morning about 5am I woke up and went to the toilet and about 10 minutes later I was in agonising pelvic pain. The pain is just above my pubic bone and feels like an intense stitch along with lower back pain. Almost like trapped wind but severe. I was on my hands and knees rocking for about an hour before it subsided. Now I'm left with the after pains of feelings extremely bruised and sore. This happens spontaneously about once a month at the moment. I'm 4DPO so it doesn't seem related to a certain time in my cycle. Although last month it was whilst I was ovulating. I have regular 28 day cycles and periods aren't too bad or painful. My left side also feels bruised now and I've had prev surgery to remove that Fallopian Tube due to Ectopic.

I have an appointment with gynae on Monday for suspected endo, I’m so nervous!

An ultrasound confirmed a normal cyst of just under 3cm on one ovary and 2 endometrioma just over 3cm on the other ovary. I then had an MRI and the letter from gynae said it showed suspected endometriosis.

I have had bad periods for 20 years, which got even worse about 3 years ago but have been really mild in the last 6 months. So I have no idea what to expect!

Mine has been so bad I've been back to the GP again today. The cysts are both sides and she said I have kissing ovaries(?) which are common with endometriosis
I'm on dihydrocodeine 4 times a day but have a 24hr gynae triage line if it doesn't improve
