I have been told it’s highly likely I have endometriosis but I am waiting for my laparoscopy to confirm. I am a week and a half away from when I am due on usually but I have woken up with severe pain and I think I passed out coming back from the toilet. I have taken some tramadol and I have my hot water bottle.

Please can someone offer advice on what to do as I am extremely worried.

I hope you're feeling better. xxYour problem sounded more urgent than to wait for advice on this forum. How did you get on?

Thank you fir checking in. They just said that the only thing I can do is to take my tramadol and rest as it sounds like it’s connected to my potential endometriosis. If it keeps happening then to contact my GP to see if they can provide me with anymore pain management. So it’s a bit frustrating but I’ll just have to hope and pray I get my surgery date ASAP xx

I'm in the same boat as you, and keep getting worse pain and symptoms. Before lockdown 3 I was on a cancellation waiting list for laparoscopy and endo clear. Now not even private gynae are treating anyone where I live. I also take Tramadol, the progesterone only pill, and omeprazole for my 24hr morning sickness/bloating symptoms. Just eish I knew how long I have to wait for my op now whilst living in this horrendous pain.

Aw I’m so sorry to hear that, it’s awful isn’t it being on the waiting list and hearing nothing. I have been on 11 months so far but heard nothing. I really hope you get your surgery date soon! I have everything crossed for you x
