Hi everyone!
Anyone who read my post 2 weeks ago would have read I was worried about what the surgeon had done to my belly button as it looked very different to when I had my appendix removed, and I was worried it would heal that way, and attached a picture, I'm pleased to say that the swelling has gone down and it is starting to look normal again, phew!
I'm on day 1 of my first period since my lap. I had my lap just over 2 weeks ago. I don't have natural periods as I am on the pill, periods hurt before the endometriosis diagnosis despite being on the pill which helps period pain, and today is no different, the period pain is very intense. I have even resorted to taking the remainder of my post op painkillers which I only took for 2 days post op. It's not too heavy ( yet ) but I suppose it's down to the pill as it's never heavy. Is the first period supposed to be this sore? It's worse than what I normally experience, contracting cramps front and back. I was hoping the removal of endometriosis would help my symptoms not worsen them?
Thanks for any advice anyone can give me.
