Has anybody been diagnosed with it??

I think I am going to be diagnosed with it.... I have scar tissue on my uterus and on my right tube I have "peritubal adhesions" (tissue growing around the fallopian tube)....I did a search and endometriosis comes up a lot...this really has me worried....

I also have pain around my ovaries, around my side and to my back.....Chat Icon

My friend was diagnosed with it about three years ago. She had surgery to remove the scar tissue and got PG in January naturally after six months of trying!
Her recovery wasn't too bad, she was off her feet for a few days and then back to work.

Yes I have endometriosis .. it was diagnosed with the laparoscopy procedure and it was removed at that time

I had a "mild" case of it.. it was covering one ovary but they did not find much of it at all.. and ever since, I have been pain free Chat Icon

Often those with the most sever symptoms wind up having a very minor/mild case of endo.. whereas those with a 'severe' case of endo can often not experience many symptoms at all - its a very weird disease!

Good Luck!
