My little boy is 3months old and it seems my endo is straight back from my 1st period. I even had to stop my pill coz was bleeding constantly

Unfortunately pregnancy does not take the endometriosis away, some dodgy gynaes promote "have a baby it'll cure it" when in actual fact it just hopefully prevents infertility down the line after you've had it for a few years (which funnily enough costs them a lot of time,resources and money). As soon as you start menstruating again, endometrial tissue outside of the uterus will grow and shed too as the cells are still there, the endometrium just wasn't (obviously) shedding during pregnancy hence no symptoms. I hope you get it under control soon, I know how bad it is I have stage 4 endo myself 😩 Stay positive though always here if you need a chat 😊

Ye I knew it didn't cure it but I thought I'd get some relief for a couple of months after. I got stage 4-5 and was due to get op to remove it but fell pregnant instead. I've been on for a month with the pill too so I'm in constant pain too
