Not TTC right now, but have an Endometriosis question? (TMI)

Quick recap... As many of you know I have severe Endometriosis. I had a Lap done in 12/06 due to VERY large cysts. My question is that, it's been about the same amount of time in between as before that my Endo got REALLY bad. Last time the symptom was different, but I think it happened a couple of times? (Pain during intercouse) For those of you that know about Endo, I can't remember but, doesn't Endo cause pain during bowels movements during your period? I know that Endo grows more and more from your period every month, (everytime the lining sheds) along with ovulation, but I am trying to remember if Endo causes pain during bowels movements while you have AF. Not your normal cramping, but pain? If anyone knows, I'd appreciate it. I have just been having a feeling that the Endo is growing. Thanks!

Ok... I just searched again for the info and found that it is a symptom. Along with some others I have been experiencing but was trying to not think much of it. (Denial)

If the Endo is bad again, I'll need another Lap and who knows what they'll find. Last time they almost removed my ovary and told me I can never have kids. I'm really upset because I REALLY want another baby and if I have a Lap, I would need to TTC right away before the Endo would grow back. The problem is that we can't TTC because we're having financial troubles again and can't TTC until we can work them out.

This SU@KS!!!

I'm so sorry.

I think the thing that is hard about endo is that the symptoms vary so much person to person. I know I had stage 3 endo removed by lap a few years ago and it was on my bowels. I never had any pain with bms though. It really sux b/c the only way to tell if its growing is by lap. I am scared mine is back and growing too but don't want to do another lap.
