I too know all too well exactly what you are talking about! I was diagnosed with PCOS at 16 and Endo at 22. One of the reasons I knew there was something wrong was that I couldnt have sexual intercourse with out extreme pain, I can't even use tampons the pain is so bad! I had my first lap at 22 which confirmed my Endo and it was removed but the pain never really went away. I didnt say anything to anyone other than my DP for ages and we both came to the conclusion that something was still not right. I finally had my 2nd lap at 25 where my DR found no more endo and I was told that my pain was being caused by my nerves that were exposed from where my endo was removed. I have been through 2 different treatments since then which havent worked and am back to the doctor on the 11th Feb. Hopefully something works this time! My DP and I rarely have intercourse these days because I end up in so much pain, then I cry and feel like so inadequate as a woman and a partner! I too worry that one day he will leave because he can't handle it all anymore! He is so supportive but I know how horrible I feel about it so I know he wouldnt feel great either. I try to pretend that I am dealing with it all ok but sometimes I just feel like im fighting a losing battle!

Cooper what state are you in? My suggestion would be to go see a Gyn and talk to him/her about exactly what you are feeling. My Gyn has been awsome and so supportive its just sad that its is taking this long to fnd something that can help my pain! Its certainly not anything negative on her part its jus that each time you try a treatment you have to give it 3 or 4 months to see if its working so its a slow process! My fingers are crossed for my appt next monday!

Its so great and sad at the same time that there are other people out there that understand me!
