Endo belly

[Littleone88]

Sooooo fed up with looking 5 months pregnant.

It hurts so much it’s uncomfortable I feel gross my clothes don’t fit. I’m so fed up with this and this horrible condition and it’s symptoms.

I’m due to have the op this year but what’s even the point knowing it’ll come back or not even help at all.

Having a really shitty day today feel miserable.

All I do is lay around eating and thts not helping either 😞

Hope everyone is doing ok and staying safe.

Much love 💕 xxx

Hello i totally hear where you are coming from and how you feel. I felt miserable and very tired with the condition. I felt very alone thinking noone understood what I was going through. But I had surgery 2 weeks ago and feeling better. I hope the same will happen for you too! Stay hopeful and positive

[Littleone88 in reply to Pink1235]

Aww thank you. I really hope so.

Feeling no one understands is very true.

I feel like half the people think I’m making the symptoms up too which is a horrible feeling 😞 thanks for taken the time to reply xx

Sorry to hear you’re feeling blue. I understand. I’ve had a grotty run of symptoms and like many hear have felt tired, fed up and cranky. I also get the ‘endo belly’ and get fed up of looking pregnant especially as I keep up exercise. If it helps, I find it’s not as bad if I stay very hydrated. I have a 1 litre water bottle and try to get through 2 a day. To liven it up I’ll pop in some lemon or orange slices and in this cold weather too it up with hot water for when I walk the dog. It’s not a fix but I do find it helps. Lots of love to you

Yes I try to stay as hydrated as possible I to have the water bottle and try drink two a day.

I wake up with a flat stomachs and by lunch time I’m looking 5 months pregnant and my jeans hurt 😢 so fed up with it all.

Hope ur feeling ok, lots of love 💕

Morning sweet,

I'm on your page. I don't think there's been a day where I don't have endo belly for the last few years.

It's does get me down sometimes and it's never comfortable but it's comforting to know I'm not alone.

I only found out it's called endo belly last year - as I used to get it only in the evenings, hubby & I called it my dinner baby.

I also find drinking plenty of water minimises the solid feeling & size. It doesn't stop it altogether but helps a bit. I don't drink tap water because it gives me cystitis, I stick to still spring water.

I hope you have a better day today xx

Thanks for responding, yeah mine seems to be daily now also started near periods but now it just seems to be daily I’m so fed up with the feeling. I feel so much sympathy for all the girls on here it’s heartbreaking to deal with such horrible symptoms.

Hope ur feeling well today xx

Omg not just me!! I’ve still got this 11 weeks after surgery and I got so down about it and cried I’ve been having to wear leggings for work cause my stomach swells that much! This is a bit of reassurance cause I’d convinced my self I put on loads of weight and kept crying!

The doctors putting me on some tablets to try and lessen the bleeding to stop the swelling so I will let you know how they go.

But ring your doctor and see if they can give you something to help I’ve previously tried co-codomal and Colofac and none worked for me but it may for you.

Be strong girly 🖤

Morning 😊

Aw bless ya that sound horrible 😞

That’s how I feel, like Iv put 2 stone on.

I have to wear leggings or joggers come midday cos my jeans are hurting my stomach.

I don’t even bleed anymore since I took the coil out and took the combination pill.

But I still get all the symptoms that come with a period 🥺just can’t win.

Thanks babe ❤️ take care xxx

[Jade-enginely in reply to Littleone88]

That’s 100% me,

I work as a mechanic and I’ve had to take sometime off my job and help in the main office for now so I can still work but my pants are the same too!

I hope you get better soon 🖤

[Littleone88 in reply to Jade-enginely]

Aw bless ya, horrible condition isn’t it 😞 I start work as a carer on Saturday and dreading it cos of my endo. But fingers crossed I won’t let it beat me. Thank u babe, I hope u get better soon too 💕

I’ve started applying warm castor oil. Loads of it. And it actually helps. Please try and let us know how it goes.

[Littleone88 in reply to SunnyKB]

Not heard of this before, I’ll give it a try and let u no. Thank you 💕 xx

[SunnyKB]

Castor oil helps with inflammation. No harm in trying, but I’ve found myself reaching for ibuprofen a lot less. Take anti inflammatory supplements too. Turmeric. Zinc. Magnesium. Omega 3.

[Littleone88 in reply to SunnyKB]

Yeah I take magnesium, and sometimes turmeric when I remember, may I ask where u buy the castor oil from?? X

[SunnyKB]

Any large pharmacy should have it. And health shops too like Holland Barratt

Thank u 💕
