I just got diagnosed with chronic endometriosis, I'm 18. And have had it for a couple of years without knowing.

How would i know if i was pregnant with endometriosis? I haven't taken a test yet. But I swell really bad. And lately I've been having morning sickness, lower back pains, been extremely fatigue and exhausted, along with my appetite has come back to normal now. Me and my boyfriend do the pull out method because we want to start trying to have a baby soon since I have such a sever case of endometriosis and reading up on it with my severity i may not be able to conceive later in life.

Take a pregnancy test or visit your GP. Even women without endo don't always know they're pregnant as not all women's periods stop. It can be hard to tell as some of the symptoms of things like endo, PMS and other got mine issues are similar to the early signs of pregnancy. If I went by my tummy I'd think I was pregnant it swells up so big.

If you are not TTC right now - as opposed to soon - you might want to use a contraceptive method with a higher rate of prevention as that method really relies on your partner doing it correctly.

The stats for the pull out method are:

Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 4 will become pregnant each year if they always do it correctly. Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 27 will become pregnant each year if they don't always do it correctly.
