Hi I'm new!

Finally got some answers on Monday after a laparoscopy I was diagnosed with endometriosis in the ligament behind my womb. I am getting lots of tingling and altered sensation in my tummy. I have a huge bruise under my tummy button. I see the consultant in January to discuss next steps. Feel relief for knowing what's wrong but apprehensive about what we do now.

A diagnosis is very important and am sure at least knowing even though overwhelming gives you peace of mind.

You already have a consultant so that's a good thing and he will help you make decisions.

There would be good and bad days but you will cope just fine as we,ve all had to.

Take care of yourself dear and always remember this endometriosis is not your fault.
