Hi Ladies,

I'm so confused. I'm 17 and have been on Zoladex for 5 months now, last injection is tomorrow. The doctors haven't given me an official diagnosis because my last laparoscopy (last year) was pretty much clear but because there is really strong family history of it they decided to start me on the treatment anyway. The pain in my stomach has practically gone but I still get really bad back ache and I think my boyfriend is fed up of me complaining about it even though he's really supportive. Anyhow, I don't know what's going to happen in the future and I hate that. I'm wondering whether I should try and get another laparoscopy done just to see how things are because something inside of me keeps saying I need to start trying for a child now as if I have endo on my reproductive system. And I know everyone says to trust your gut instinct and your body because they're always right.

Any advice on any part of the post would be much appreciated. In absolute agony with back ache today to the point of feeling sick and it feels like it's going down my right leg :( This is just absolutely killing me.

Hi thanks for replying.

I had an ultrasound done and they did find fluid in the Pouch of Douglas. I actually have the pictures from my laparoscopy and it looked like there was a little cyst but i had to point that out to him!

I’ve had laparoscopy, MRI, ultrasound, blood tests, stool tests and many examinations, they haven’t found anything on them apart from the fluid in PoD, a little bit of tissue connecting my bowel to uterus and that cyst.

Yes it was much worse and the pain in my stomach was AWFUL! Period wise was almost constantly bleeding for 2 years fluctuating in heaviness. Mostly heavy. Had the brown, thick sort of discharge/blood. I was originally on Combined pill, then Implant then bleeding got worse, eventually went onto POP and the bleeding stopped completely.

Looked at your post, yes definitely fit into it. I’ll send you the details and I can also send you the Lap pictures.

OH MY LORD. WHY is a 17 year old on whom they've not diagnosed ANYTHING on Zolodex?!

Whitney, I am so sorry. You're in good hands here with Linda!
