I am 32 and for the past six months I have had severe abdominal cramping. I went to a gastro doctor and had a colonosopy he said everything looked normal and i probably had ibs or spastic colon i still get the pain every now and then. I am trying to find out if my symptoms fit that of endo. Two weeks before my period i bloat like i am 5-6 months pregnant, i feel like i have alot of pressure in my pelvic area, and also sometimes i will get this stabbing pain sometimes when i walk mostly when i try and sit down my doctor said you know it might be that the only way i will know is to go in and look, but i really don't want to go through this if my symptoms don't suggest endo i figured you could help me since you have had it and know the symptoms thank you I would love if you could write back I am trying to decide whether or not to have the laproscopy done.

I am 20 years old and a junior in college. Right before sophmore year, when I was 19, I was hospitalized for severe abdominal pain and other symptoms that my doctor wasn't sure were coming from. I am from a relatively small town in Mississippi and after visits from 4 different doctors who said they had no idea what my pain was, I went to a gynocologist in Memphis who did a laproscopy and discovered my endometriosis. Six months later, in June, I had a second one by Dr. Martin at UT in Memphis and he removed 14 more spots and discovered my right ovary and fallopin tube had become wrapped around my appendix due to my endometriosis. This was one of the reasons for my severe pain. So a few weeks ago, on Sept. 2, I had it all taken out. I am currently recovering, which is part of the reason I'm up at 4 a.m. After reading your blog, I was really encouraged and feel more hopeful because even with your obstacles and challenges, you were able to have a child. I worry every day that by the time I am married and ready to start a family, I won't be able to conceive because of future endometriosis problems. So thank you for sharing your story and letting me post mine. I think everyone with this problem have something in common that many people don't understand. We should support each other in positive blogs like this. Thank you for this blog and your posts. I am 20 years old and a junior in college.

After reading your post I thought I was reading my own story! I am 20 years old and mine was also diagnosed after I passed my first kidney stone. The pain stayed and that is when an OB/GYN suspected endo, so he scheduled me for emergency surgery and removed all the chocolate cysts. I have also been on lupron, although I could only manage it for 3 months, but recently within the last month the pain has become so bad. I have another surgery scheduled but it won't be for 6 weeks so I am trying to find a new doctor. Thank you for posting this, most women who have endometriosis cannot have kids and to read your story that you were able to have a child really gives me hope and something to look forward to!

I was diagnosis with endometrosis by the time I was 21 years old. I went through birth control, no success, then Lupron injection that had me almost passing out. So, they decrease my Lupron injection that did not work then I receive my first lap. surgery in 93, then I receive the noraplant and surgery in 94 and then 95. After 1995 I was feeling okay for several years. In 2004 I started to have the heavy bleeding and pain and the doctor started Depo-Provera every 10 weeks and it help until June of 2008 when I started having distressing agony from the endometrosis throughout my fallopian tube. Had a partial hysterectomy in September of 2008 and 3 months later started having the same problems again. Continue to see the doctor about the pain and had a lap. done in June 2009 to let me know that I have adhesions that pushing up my large intestine and have it also on my small bowel. So, now I am in between doctors one who wants to do surgery but without colorectal involve, one who not able because my condition is too intense for his facility to handle, and then the last one who wants me to take physcial therapy and pain management. So I am taking pain medicine over the counter and handling the pain the best I can. When I was in high school I was having 15 days then 11 days straight bleeding in one month.
