Do I have endo?

Hello everyone,

I just wonder if I have endo or I'm overthinking things...

I tend to have quite bad period pain on day 1 of my period as soon as the bleeding starts, it's manageable with a hot water bottle and pain meds and it then eases off after the first day of bleeding. My periods are fairly heavy, I use super tampons for the first 3 days and then regular for the last 2. I don't tend to bleed through and change roughly every 8 hours. I have no pain at any other time of the month and no pain during sex.

Does this sound normal?

That was just a normal period for me.

That certainly doesn't sound like endometriosis.

Nope, that sounds normal. Endo is hell on earth believe me!

Nope it doesn’t sound like endo, it just sounds like a heavy period a

i have endo and I will bleed through a super tampon and a thick towel in less than an hour at times. The pain is literally unbearable to the point I can’t actually get out of bed until the pain killers kick in. I use a tens machine and often the only place I can get any relief and therefore sleep is in a hot bath
