Endo in early pregnancy

[Spring37]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has endomotorsis and if they found it tended to get worse in pregnancy? Im very early on but still suffering with painful cramps in stomach and lower back pain.

Thanks

Hi 👋

I had my son 9 months ago and I have stage 4 endo. I found my endo pains didn’t not subside until I was about 4/5 months. I think when your womb has stretched around the endo this is when the pain subsides. I really enjoyed the break after the pains finally went. Try not to worry like I said I kept getting endo pains early on and I was so worried but my son is here and healthy watching telly in his bouncer 😃 xxx

Thank you for your reply Faith103, that is reassuring to know!! Its such a worry, never really expected to have these pains in pregnancy. It does make sense though as everything seems to be adjusting. I have my hot water bottle and trying to put it on my thighs rather than tummy area!xxx

Hi Wintss 1982, thank you😊. Yes we are down the IVF route too , after trying naturally for 2 years without success. This is my 2nd IVF cycle, unfortunately the first ended in a chemical pregnancy. How far along are you into the IVF treatment?x
