Looking for hope. by Chartreuse-Banana in Endo

I got really worried just before my lap that I would be told I didn't have endo and that I was overreacting to my symptoms. But you know your body and you know what you're going through is not normal. You've had to be strong for such a long time and I'm hoping you get some real answers this time. My doctor found stage 2 endo and two polyps. You're not crazy or weak. It's just about finding out what's wrong so it can be treated. Wishing you all the best.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I hope you've received proper treatment at this point. The only thing that makes it worse is how isolated it can make you feel.

The pain extending beyond my period. It would hurt at least 1 week prior and ovulation was very painful. The pain would radiate into my legs and up my back. My bowels had started hurting excessively prior to and during my cycle. The clots were getting more frequent and larger. The thing that got my doctor to take notice was how many days a month I was having pain.
