Hi all I am still new to this sight and find it great support you ladies are the only ones that know what going through. I recently posted that I have been suffering with my lower back, hips and legs along with lower stomach since January 15 I have had endo for 5 years.

Well I went to see the doctor today explaining my pain I had a really bad week with constant pain and he said so u are having pain outside your period when I said yes he said that can't be your endo as endo is associated with periods. He thinks one I have muscular issues with my back and 2 something with my stomach and sending me for an ultrasound to see if anything going on.

Why do doctors think that endo pain u only get with periods?? He also said I will not get pregnant if... Then stopped how can he say that to me I fell before and I have had my ovaries tested I have good quantity and quality eggs so he had no right to say that did he?? All I have ever wanted is a baby is it really never going to happen??

Sorry for the essay just spared some advice . Thanks in advance for reading xxx

I found great comfort in this site as well as Doctor's that aren't specialised in Endo are used to fobbing patients off with excuses and their awful opinions. Your doctor shouldn't have said that to you, that's rude.

Maybe you should see a specialist (which are difficult to find in some cases, I'm struggling at the minute with constant pain like you are describing.)

Endo can be just around your period or it can be constant so I've been told. Hope you find comfort soon.
