Hi Ladies,

This is very interesting reading...

I started periods at 11, had a lot of pain until I was about 13, and the it settled down, but always bleed heavily and lasted about 7 days.

Have always been relatively active/gym etc through my teens and on and off in my 20's.

The Pill didn't agree with me and my moods/weight etc, always better off it. Tried Marvalon at age 22. Went from a B cup to D cup in 14months and told that I was allergic to this form of contraceptive (only one on the market with certain type of hormone).

Didn't seem to have any noticable pain etc with periods until I was just about to get married and was 27. Then the drama started with repetative operations for endo and adhesions.

Feel pregnant with DS November 2003. Haven't had a problem falling pregnant at all since (second bub - third pregnancy - loss not related to endo last year).

No one in my family has had this issue that I know of, but as both my Nana's had passed away before all this started, I don't really have anyone to ask. Both Mum and Sister don't have these issues at all.

I think it's been MUCH better since having DS with periods going down to 3 days of bleeding. Day 2 quite heavy, but then pretty much over by day 3.

Still occasionally had pains when pooing around that time of the month.

Have had migraines in early 20's but was also around the time I was on Marvalon pill, so could have been related to that.

Can get moody and PMS 2 weeks before hand.

Been vegatarian briefly in my teens, otherwise I eat normally.

Think that's about it!
