I haven't been diagnosed with endometriosis as I haven't had a laparoscopy, but my GP seems to think it is the only explanation for my pain. I have a dull ache at the bottom of my back for days, sometimes weeks at a time, that eases for a few days and then comes back again. I don't have periods on the pill that I am currently on so can't match it to my menstrual cycle. Although I sometimes get stomach pain, it is mostly in my lower back. I have had many different tests including bloods, ultrasound and X-ray which have all found nothing. The gynaecologist isn't willing to book me in for a laparoscopy at this stage as I have only had symptoms for 6 months, I'm 21, and I'm not looking to have children any time soon so I'm stuck not 100% knowing. Has anyone had a similar experience to me?

My main symptom has been lower back ache that's now turned to pain when I was your age I used to moan about it all the time. I never knew about endo till last year then last month I got diagnosed with endo via laparoscopy I'm now 32. Hope you get answers soon write a pain diary and keep things logged it will help.
Good luck xxx
Did you have your laparoscopy through the NHS? xx
Yes. I actually told my doctor I have endo. Eventually got referred to gynae first and only appointment with gynae sent me for lap then endo was found. Now suffering reoccurring infections since lap xxx
The GP's didn't initially suggest endo for me because my pain isn't related to periods, it's constant and in random patterns. Is this also common? xx
