Experiences of endo and pregnancy?

[Lolpolaza]

Hi,

I was wondering what people’s experiences of early pregnancy were like with endo?

I take the pill to manage my symptoms and I know it’s probably unlikely but sudden changes in symptoms make me think I might be pregnant.

I started my pill free week on Monday and since then I’ve been floored with what feels like morning sickness. I had a little bit of brown spotting for a couple of days and now that I have finally got bleeding it is extremely light.

I’ve been on the pill for 7 years now and even with that my endo symptoms are so bad I normally can’t function due to heavy periods, cramps etc.

I’ve never experienced it this light and with the sickness, salty cravings and needing to pee all the time the only thing I can think is Im pregnant.

Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? And would I be crazy to take a test?

You are not crazy

I think you should immediately talk to your GP about what to do - any new symptoms of any kind could mean a number of things and it is best to check the reason for them asap.

You could take a test as well, but the GP would best know when they are likely to be reliable (can give false results if taken too soon I think) and what to do next. They will also likely call you in to take your temperature, blood pressure and request any other tests/checks they think could rule out other conditions, such as infections etc.

Hope you get to the bottom of your symptoms xx
