Had enough of the pain

This is my first post so please bear with me as I might ramble lol. I'm 33 and waiting for my first laracoscopy ( think that's how u spell it). I have been trying for a baby for over 6 years now finally seen a specialist last month and he is sure I have endremitiodis I have chronic pain during sex and after sex to the point I curl up in the fetal potion crying for upto an hour. I also got diagnosed with ibs (which I don't think I do) the ibs symptoms started after I had 3 child 12 years ago. I also have hair growing on my chin and the side of my face. I have also had abnormal cells removed by lazer treatment and i read that havin that procedure done can cause infertility not sure if this is true. When I had an examination the gyn Doctor said I had a lot of scar tissue. Im so scared of what they will find when I have the procedure. I hope this post made some sense lol

Hi Kirsty, it does sound like Endo and the 'IBS' could be Endo on the bowel. You don't have to have a diagnosis to be referred to a specialist centre. Google Endo specialist uk and find your nearest. You will find lots of support on here. Good luck. X

Hi, your first lap will give you an answer if you have endo or not. A lot of IBS and endo symptoms are the same- I was told I had IBS but I have endo. Hope you get some answers xx
