Have you told your doctor about it?

I had really heavy, painful periods, so I was put on the pill for 3 months at a time, and now only have 4 periods a year.

This was a symptom of my endometriosis, but I think I was only diagnosed properly because we have a family history of it.

Yer i have told me doc just doen seem to really care, i am on the waiting list for a second laparoscopy so hopefully it might improve after that, thanks. x i have had endo for two years, but some of it was removed last time i had a laparoscopy they are going to have a look again and see what they can do, thanks. x

It's a sign. I have to do that. If i'm sitting down for half hour and then stand up, i'm changing the towel again. Totally refuse to go out when it's that time of the month as i spend all day long just sitting on the toilet as it just doesn't stop.

My doctor didn't give two s**ts when i first said something about it. Apparently it was "normal" but 14 years later was told I had endo. Not sure what stage tho xx
