I Do have it. I suffered for many years and went through many doctors that did not believe me on how bad the pain was. I finally found a great doctor back in either 02 or 03 that once I told her all my syptoms started setting up tests. Withing a couple months I had surgery and the endo lasered out. They gave us six months to get pregnant. It did not happen. The endo is back almost worse than it was before but now I do not have insurance to do anything about it.
We can't have kids. In a way I'm glad because I like our lives as they are. But sad that I will never know the joy of having a baby.
I have considered having surgery to have everything removed as the only way to ensure that the endo does not grow back is to take the ovaries also. Even then I'm not sure if it can still grow back. This sounds crazy to some but the number one reason why I have never had the surgery is because I've heard from two women that having a total hysterectomy will mess with your sex life. Make you numb or never be able to orgasm again.
As much as the pain really gets to me and makes me miss work and has me bedridden sometimes, I would rather go through that then give up my sex life. LOL
Is this something you had questions on or were just curious?

When I first found out about endometriosis, I typed in my symptoms at Webmd and it came up with Endo.
