8 days of light bleeding before period.

Hi everyone. I haven't been diagnosed with endo and am waiting for an ultrasound appointment as my doctor thinks it may be endo or a cyst on my ovary. I suffer with lower back pain, pain in my left hip, bowl pain and stomach pain.

I have had awful PMT symptoms and pain for just over a week and now have been having light bleeding for 8 days before actually starting my period today. From experience I think this will last another 6 days.

I feel like I never get a break from it and it's one continuous period! Does anyone else have this problem? It's making me pretty miserable.

Thanks everyone.

I had/have similar pains and was diagnosed with endometriosis via a lap. I had ultrasounds come back clear even though I lost my left ovary to a cyst. If the ultrasound comes back clear push for further tests. Good luck

Hiya your symptoms are similar to a few of mine part the areas of pain n light bleeding (I get loads of dead blood for about 3wks of the month) I have severe endo covering most of my pelvic region (bowel,bladder,uterus etc) push for gyni referral n even lap to diagnose,don't leave it too long I did & now regret it lots.good luck x

Thank you ladies. It's nice to know you're not alone! I'll have to see what happens with the scan. Luckily my doctor is really lovely so I'm sure she'll be pushing for tests! Thanks for your replies! I hope you ladies are doing well x
