From Endo Resolved website:
The most common symptoms of Endometriosis are:
- Pain before and during periods (check-for about a week before I start)
- Pain with intercourse (no)
- General, chronic pelvic pain throughout the month (yes-thought it was due to the stim medication and/or their after effects)
- Low back pain (yep)
- Heavy and/or irregular periods (for the first few days it is heavy, but it is pretty regular)
- Painful bowel movements, especially during menstruation (um, yes...good Lord, yes. always during AF)
- Painful urination during menstruation (no, but could this be the "UTI" symptoms I just had?)
- Fatigue (always, but this could just be from life in general)
- Infertility (sadly)
- Diarrhoea or constipation (both, depending on the day)
Other symptoms which are common with Endometriosis include:
- Headaches (yes-for days before I start AF)
- Low grade fevers (have had them in the past)
- Depression (um?)
- Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) (not that I am aware of)
- Anxiety (who me?)
- Susceptibility to infections, allergies (as a matter of fact, I break out in hives pretty much every month as AF begins. lasts for a few days before leaving.)

I think so too!! I also seem to have a lot of those signs....sigh....
I hope it helps figure things out for you. No more pain, no more losses, please.
I really hope the laparoscopy helps.
I think you just nailed it on the head !
My mom has that, or at least the doctors thought that's what she had. Turns out it's something similar to it. Either way it apparently sucks. I hope they can do something for you if that's what it is.
yep, that's where I was 3 years ago - so much better after the surgery. And I was able to conceive my little one so here's hoping it works for you!
