Endo and spotting

Hi, was wondering if anyone can offer some advice, my main symptom is brown, sometimes red spotting about a week after I finished my period up until my next period, I don't have particularly heavy or painful periods, the only pain I get is in my bottom during a bowel movement, my DR suspects endo but I'm not completely convinced due to my lack of period pain?

Has anyone elses main endo symptom been spotting in between periods?

Are you on the pill? I developed this symptom when I was put on it early this year and had to come off it in August as it was literally every day along with generally not feeling the pill was helping xx

I was thinking about going back on it to stop the spotting but still waiting on a gynae appt so thought maybe best to wait

Hi,

Did you find out why you were spotting for extended length of time? I have a similar problem leading up to my period and I haven’t been on contraception for a few years.

Hi, I've never had a definitive answer unfortunately...😤 Dr isnt too concerned as infections and STIs have been ruled out 🤷🏼‍♀️
