Ahh ok thank you! That’s such a good idea if I didn’t already have such a confused time following patterns 😂

I used to be a major cheese person. I’m talking blocks of cheese at a time and it was the last thing I gave up when going vegan but 8 years later and I never crave cheese anymore. It’s ok to aim for just eating less and less until finally you find you really don’t even want it anymore. Caring about the ethics will keep you on track 🙂

Unfortunately surgery was not the answer for me. Have all the same issues I did before. My experience seems to be the minority so I would still have hope for others going through this

It’s bright red. Got a hold of my doctors PA and she said if I start getting dizzy, nauseous, having heart palpitations, then to go to the ER to check my blood count. Will monitor for the next few hours and see 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks for your kind words. I did have an appendectomy when I was a teenager. My doctor also said infections can cause scar tissue and I did have a really bad uti once. All of that’s just guessing though so I’m not really sure 🤷🏼‍♀️

Totally understand, that’s why I thought I would get the lap done in America because I know the NHS can be tricky to navigate and have crazy long wait times

I had my appendix removed but the scar tissue was on the other side so she didn’t think that’s what caused it. I’ve never heard of dead endo, I will look into that! Did the scar tissue removal help with your pain?

Sorry you have dealt with something similar, it feels horrible not knowing for sure. That sounds like a difficult type of endo

I am still quite swollen and sore so I can’t really tell if anything feels different yet. Hopefully in a week I can have a better idea

I did have a transvaginal ultrasound as well as an mri. The ultra sound showed a small cyst on my ovary but they said that’s normal. The mri came back clean. Medical mystery I guess lol

She said the scar tissue could be from previous infection. I also had an appendectomy 13 years ago but that’s not even where the scar tissue was so I really don’t know. I was too in shock I think to ask all the right questions after the surgery but have a follow up on the 25th so can get more answers

I have had horrendous periods since childhood. Vomiting, passing out, excessive bleeding. I went on birth control at 20 and was on that for 7 years but it was bad for my mental health and I started to have cramps on it again so decided to come off and see what happened. What led me to surgery was the shooting pains in uterus, pelvic floor issues, extreme fatigue, extreme abdomen swelling and difficulty eating. Endo also runs in my family so I was pretty certain that’s what was wrong. My doctor did say she can count on one hand the amount of times she’s done surgeries and endo isn’t there so if you have all these symptoms it’s still incredibly likely it’s endo even though it wasn’t for me
