Suffered all these symptoms for years. Doctors were unhelpful. Finally got a DNC. Had less symptoms after. Menopause came. Periods ended 10yrs ago. I am now 57yrs. Got diagnosed with stage one ovarian cancer. Thank God It was caught early, but ladies please get an ultrasound every year. Thats how my cyst was spotted. Burst during surgery so i ended up having chemotherapy. Please girls, get scanned, even if you have to go private. Well worth 150euro. Ovarian cancer is the silent killer. Please please please get a scan. Do not rely on a doctor. Get it done yourself. Best of luck💕

Exploratory surgery to r/o endometriosis resulted in not having children in this lifetime. After working with and for special children for many years, today I am thankful for being childless. Grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom and willingness to know the difference ❤

Had endometriosis, probably for longer than I expected. Serious pain and incredibly heavy bleeding along with inability to get pregnant led me to hysterectomy. Only a few days out but I am so glad I can be done with the suffering

I was diagnosed with Stage IV endo after an ex lap, and after suffering over 15 years of excruciating pain. I can't even remember how many days of school, then work, I missed because of the pain and extremely heavy periods. I'd lost count of how many times I'd actually fainted from the pain. My GYN said he'd never seen such a severe case of adhesions and lesions, and actually asked (which I don't remember b/c I was still woozy and in recovery) if I had ever been sexually assaulted. I had two more ex laps after that to remove adhesions and try to lessen the pain, then made the painful decision to have a full hysterectomy at 33, taking away forever my dreams of becoming a mother. I weighed the pros and cons very carefully, but eventually decided I just couldn't take the pain anymore. But not being able to have children brought with it a psychological pain that still gnaws at me to this day, 12 years later.

I think I have this 😞. Started suffering from at the age of 15 . I’m now 34. Currently in bed missing work because my cramps are unbearable and my body is soar and tired.

[iicy_Hott_x]

The pain is not unbearable for me it's just annoying it's cramping even without a peroid. I feel it in my back an ovary area esp when i wake up in the am..anyone else?

[ashmagee]

I dread my period starting, the pain would be that bad that I would end up throwing up because the pain would shoot down my back and into my legs

[cicadafiIes]

i feel so lucky to get diagnosed early... i got my dx at 15

[toniahusbands]

Sometimes I wonder why me.... every month pain... I get anxious and depressed when my period comes around... every month I can't work on the 2nd day.... never got the child I wanted.... this just isn't fair

I am 38, married for 4 years plus now, I am still trying to conceive naturally.

A major red flag to mention to your doctor that was not mentioned here... apparantly blood clots (larger ones) is a not normal period thing. For 15 years or more, i never knew this nor was asked; when asked about my periods i would always answer that they were up to 10 days, very heavy and very painful and ovulation also caused pain. So only at my hysterectomy (for massive, uterus stuffed fibroids) did the gyne ask me if i had experienced blood clots. Yes! But Still no diagnosis of endometriosis. Today is 8 years past that hysterectomy and i am going thru ovarian cancer. The surgery for this discovered the cancer of course and endometriosis all over my abdominal cavity. So weird.

Daily taking Magnesium pills really helped me a lot for cramps, so i recomend. Result is after taking on a daily base for minimum one month.

[daimen]

I suffer from severe cramping. It takes me out for a full day or more. I'm vomiting for 6 hours straight. Diarrhea, chills and body aches. I can't stand up or lay down. And its only getting worse as I get older. I've got an appointment scheduled but now more then ever am I worried I might have endometriosis

[MusicIsHobby]

I am suffering from endometriosis a year ago, i almost passed out during my 1stday of period.i take advil and buscopan plus to soften the muscle in my uterus and to ease pain. So difficult to get this kind of thickened endometrial disease.Lord help me with my disease.I kept on medicating w magnesium and k3d2 vitanibs supplement and vit.e and in addition i have nausea, vomitting and diarhea during my 1st day of period.

[red-fqzf]

I do feel intense pain ... But only on my first day of period that too for 6-7 hours... Is it normal or not?

[annab]

I faint about a week before my period starts from pain and nausea. I'm extremely under weight too. I've never been able to do anything. I stay at home because I'm always tired and in pain

[zannawood]

I have none of these symptoms...and an ultrasound just found 8cm cysts on each ovary that look like "endometriomas." According to literature, this is often considered stage 4 endometriosis. I'm only now beginning to experience recognizable discomfort...

[sarahcampbell]

26 And only found out I have this is by having an ectopic pregnancy/surgery

[daminiku]
