How to tell them you have endometriosis

[Nat21]

Recently started seeing somebody and just no idea how to tell him I have endo or when is the right time.

I don’t want to say too early in but I don’t want to say it too late I don’t want it looking like I’ve kept it from him, don’t know what to do 😒

I don’t think it’s anyhing to be ashamed about or feel the need to hide, don’t be scared I would just mention it sooner rather then later, if he cares he will stay and he might be able to help and support you a little more too I think I would be good just mention it in a conversation and see how he copes with it, I hope it all goes well xxx

Hi I normally tell them soon, about 3 weeks/1 month in, mainly if they want to plan something then they know if I’m near my period or if I have a flare up I can’t do it, that way it stops me stressing out about making some sort of excuse about why I can’t do that day. Every guy has been really understanding and nice about, they always plan things around my period and if I’m feeling low or in pain then they kind of understand a bit more rather than not knowing it just makes your life a little easier! And if they don’t understand and run away then he’s not not the guy for you and it’s better you know sooner rather than later x

Thank you yeah I don’t have period but do get pain and bleeding with sex but I just wasn’t sure when’s best to tell him because we’ve only met a few times think next time I see him I’ll tell him hopefully things turn out okay xx

Yeah that’s just as important the painful sex and them knowing about it, for me the sooner the better so I didn’t have to stress out about things! Hope it goes well for you and I’m sure it will turn out alright xx
