Endo - Been a long time now

[geckos]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. Lately I've come across many friends who are suffering from Endo and finding it really difficult to cope with.

Approx 12 years ago I was going through Fertility treatment and after a Lap & End was diagnosed with Endo, blocked fallopian tube, cysts on ovaries (the size of an orange). They did what they could and we continued unsuccessfully through IVF. I later conceived naturally but miscarried at 12 weeks and have never conceived since.

All my adult life my periods have been extremely heavy (flooding and clotting) and I have spotting for about 5 days leading up to the flood. I also spot mid month with significant pain. I feel bloated a lot of the time and my tummy has always been prominent. Sex is extremely painful and I really can't be bothered with it. I am on the loo nearly every hour... worst bladder control and I haven't had kids!!! LOL

I am now wondering if I should get it looked into again and have something done about it. We've been through so much and I don't want more surgery but am a) worried if I do nothing something bad could happen and b) am sick of putting up with basically 2 week periods each month plus the pain.

I am 33 now and torn as to what I should do. I don't have a Gyno that I see as I haven't bothered or needed to.

Anyone got any advice? What should I do???
