For me, I had pain during every period, then it got worse and I would have painful ovulation then finally I would bleed in large intervals (6 months) and the pain would start to take over for a whole month. Last year I bled for 10/12 months and was in so much pain the entire time. I know dr's want to "watch" but in my case watching led to just being in more pain and damage to my uterus. I would write everything down on a calendar to see if they can see a pattern.
Also, I want to add I don't think it has to do w/ food at all. I've always had a very healthy diet (very little processed food), but I do have autoimmune problems and Endo is considered autoimmune. So, the cause is unknown. Although it is advisable to have a healthy diet, I wouldn't want people to think they can "prevent" endo from staying away from certain foods....just my soapbox, sorry.
