so since i have had my daughter a year and a half ago i have had nothing but problems. been back and forth to the drs after a year they referred me to a gynaecologist ( only because i had been bleeding for a year and sex is painful) so i got a coloscopy couldnt find anything last night i typed in my symptoms and up came endrometriosis (the only thing i dont get is painful periods just v bad back pain) i have another coloscopy booked for a couple weeks time should i go back to the doctors or just wait till i see my gynaecologist and get coloscopy? sorry for the huge story!!

At first I didn't have a lot of a pain only when I was on period but one month was always worse than the month before.

Do you have pain in your side? I had pain in my right side like a stabbing pain all the time. And only recently I have had pain during sex and have to stop then I feel so bad :-( but likely my other half understands

I would go your doctors and ask for a scan if not then speak to your gynaecologist about it as they need to do a lap and see what's going on Hun

Hope this helps

You definitely need a laparoscopy, the only way to find Endo. My main symptom is lower back pain, just like period pain, dull, nagging, dragging, aching, heavy only I have had it EVERY for 6 months now. I am not saying this is what you have but I have Endo on both uterosacral ligaments (these suspend the uterus in place and become stretchy etc during pregnancy (you say your problems started after pregnancy so wondering if there is a link).

This is just an idea, a suggestion, but please do push your doctor for a Lap xxx

In the meantime, keep a daily diary of your symptoms, bleed/pain/where pain/strong, mild/medication etc., as you often forget to put this across during your appointment and it can be helpful for your doc/gynae. xx
