I just want to tell you...make sure you have a good doctor. The first doctor I went to told me that I didn't have endo....but that I had a fibroid tumor that was the size of an orange....he never did anything for my constant pain. The second doctor I went to did another lap on me....said my ovaries were consistant with PCOS, and that he had to clean off my bowel, but that it was nothing serious. A year later I started having severe pain again. I finally found another doctor.

My pain was similar to what everyone here describes. It was mostly on my right side, it would shoot across my lower stomach and around my back. At its worst my legs would hurt. It hurt to use the bathroom (1&2) and finally when it got to the point that I could hardly stand at work and I couldn't take it anymore I went to the local clinic here. They at first checked me for kidney stones because of how bad it hurt to pee and how urgent I would have to go. The doctor on duty started pressing on my stomach and when I cried out and told her that if she did that again I was gonna hurt someone she suspected my ovaries and recommended I see my GYN ASAP. That is when I decided to find a new GYN. She diagnosed me through my family history (my mom had endo bad and it almost killed her after she had my sister cause she hemorraged) and my symptoms. I did Lupron for 6 months, it did help my pain, but no one could stand to be around me. Unfortunately I am starting to notice symptoms again. I go see my GYN in November or December. I don't have periods on my own either, which is from my PCOS. So around Christmas time I am gonna have so much fun (sarcastic).
