Dyspareunia (Painful Intercourse)

[Eryn]

hi Celine.

No, i haven't been tested for PCOS...
I'm not really sure what it entails?

The pain that you've described sounds similar to one of the many types of pains that i have in relation to my endo. I also have chest pains, shortness of breath and arrhythmia. So it's possible that this is a symptom of endo, though i don't think it's recorded as such?

Update on my health: The latest contraceptive pill i've been on has controlled the bleeding. The pain has been less, though, still there. I'm still vomiting 5 or so times a day and my throat is hating it. Had an endoscopy and colonoscopy last week and they took some biopsies. Also had some more bloods taken. Turns out that i'm also b12 deficient. Had my first injection today. I'd recommend any of you that get blood tests regularly to request a b12 test, as apparently, many of the symptoms i have that were assumed to be related to my endo could also be related to the b12 problem. (Apart from the bleeding, lactating and painful sex of course.) Unfortunately, i've had to drop two of my classes at uni. I'm really dissapointed, but i just haven't been able to get there enough. I've already missed 50% of class and it's only week 4. Feeling pretty down about the whole situation.

HAPPY ENDOMETRIOSIS AWARENESS MONTH!!

If anyone has msn and would like to add me, please ask for my email. I'm more than happy to chat, compare notes, listen, anything. It's nice to have someone to talk to that understands. I've recently met a woman that shares the majority of my symptoms and she's been a wonderful friend. So, if any of you need to talk, let me know because i know how much it helps to be understood.

Glad to hear you seem to be getting somewhere with a diagnosis/treatment! I am really sorry to hear that you are still having pain which is effecting your ability to attend uni its so difficult sometimes to get to work etc and push through the pain! I understand how you feel! I work in a physically demanding job and somedays I can barely face the thought of going to work but I have to push through the pain.
I got to the gym and did a combat class which I havent done in ages because of my pain, it was nice it actually allowed me to focus on something other than my endo!

Hope to hear more success from you soon, I dont have msn but maybe I could get your e-mail address anyway and we can just e-mail? I could use someone to talk to that understands me!

hi ladies,
iv also got endo but iv got severe adhesions from a op years ago on my bowel which has spread, my endo was discovered on scans and they wont do a lap because of the scarred tissue is so bad. im on morphine for the pain anyway. atm iv been bleeding for 4 weeks and im on the pill yasmin..off the pill i bleed for 30-40 days. i also am in agony during sex but iam very lucky my partner is amazingly supportive. im only 20...iv suffer since i was 14/15 and this is horrendous iv also got pcos. so far iv seen 12 surgeons, 3 gynaes and 3 pain docs non of which can help me its horrendous theyv tried so many different pills it a joke..all of which i still bleed on. iv asked about the implant and they dont think it will help. at my last gynae appointment they where talking about a hystorectomy..im 20 ffs!!!
sorry for the long rant iv just got nobody to talk to..also iv got damaged tubes due to the adhesions and they cant go in and clear them iv got to go through ivf to concieve anyway iv already been told that.
thanks for the chance to get my feelings out.
to all and a big .
