Welcome Jamie!

I read your post and some if it does sound familiar. I too had really bad side effects with Yaz. It turned me into a crazy person about a week after I started it. It's like all the joy was sucked out of my life. Whew, glad I got off that.

I also recently had surgery and immediately got relief. Good luck to you! I'll answer your questions....

-Have any of you experienced infections in your uterus due to Endo or PCOS?

The only type of infections that I've had have been yeast infections.

- If you have pain due to endo, does your lower stomach, around your uterus, swell or get bloated? Is it retaining water?

Yes! During my last outbreak with that horrible pain, I noticed that I was bloated in my lower abdomen. It was noticibly worse than regular bloating due to PMS.

- Have any of you had surgery? Did you develop Endo again? In the same spot or in a different location?

I had the surgery in December 2008, so it's too soon to tell if it will return...

- When you were diagnosed with Endo what type of doctor did you go to to seek treatment? An Endocrinologist? A Gyno? Or a Fertility Specialist?

I went to my OBGYN. I have read that RE's are the best to perform endo surgery, but I really trust my OBGYN and I let her do it for me.

- If so, did the same symptoms come back? And what did you do about it?

So far, so good. My symptoms are gone. AF came a few days after surgery and it was PAINLESS. What a relief!

- Are any of your tubes, ovaries or uterus deformed due to Endo?

No, I had a HSG at the same time and everything looked great.
