Has anyone been diagnosed with stage 3 to 4 endometriosis, had a baby and experienced return of endometriosis after having their baby?

Hi. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 24 years ago. I had 2 laparoscopies and a 6 months on danazol. I was lucky enough to fall pregnant without any problems and now have 2 children, 18 and 14. (I was told that I would never conceive btw.) Since then my periods have become increasingly heavy but nowhere like as awful before my pregnancies when the pain was so bad I virtually fainted each month. However, endometriosis was diagnosed last year & ovulation has become agony. So, if you're like me, you should have a long period of grace but beware that it may return. Best wishes for the birth!

Thank you I plan on breast feeding too so hopefully my periods will not return for a while. When they do I will probably go on depo injection to stop ovulation, as my endo got a lot worse when ovulated as nearly all of it is/was in my ovary. Fingers crossed it won't come back worse x
