Losing hope

[Bthree]

I have recently been diagnosed with endometriosis. I had an ectopic pregnancy removed and they found it during the op. I had really painful periods when I was a teenager and my cycle was all over the place but then went on the pill then had the implant for years and my periods were fine - no pain at all. Since having my implant removed my periods have been really painful, and have got worse since the ectopic, although they are really regular now. The pain wakes me up and I have panic attacks because the pain is so bad. I'm really worried that the endometriosis will get worse because I'm not using contraception because I'm ttc. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with the pain or any success stories of a successful pregnancy? I'm just losing hope and feeling low.

I understand what you are going through. We were ttc for over a year before I got diagnosed with endo. During that short time my pain got unbelievably bad during periods.

Due to endo we canny naturally conceive and I’m on prostap as preparation for ivf. The thought of my period coming back makes me cringe!

Sorry it’s not a very uplifting story

Things take time and are very difficult but my partner is fab, very supportive and just lovely. I trust your partner is the same for you x

Thank you for replying. It's good to know there's people who understand where I'm coming from. I'm struggling mostly because the people around me don't understand and just think I'm being over dramatic.
