From my own experience- pregnancy took away all my endo symptoms.

Sadly I can't use pregnancy as a get away now as I've been sterilised haha

Good luck. Hope it's the same for you x

I have read somewhere that endo symptoms can get worse in the first 3 months of pregnancy. The pregnancy hormones also don't kick in enough to stop endo until the second trimester xx

Hi Katie, I found pregnancy definetly helped settle my endo. I actually didn't appreciate exactly how much until it returned again a few years later.

Saying that I did have laser just before my first pregnancy.

Hi katie

When I was first diagnosed with endo the consultant advised pregnancy would be the only thing that would help with pain/symptoms, unfortunately an ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage later I wasn't something that was going to work for me
