How long have I got? Return of endo after pg

[onthefly]

Just wondering how many cycles before it's likely to get painful again....

I got nearly 7 years repreive on mine - from the birth of my first baby till my youngest was 6mths old. Although they did change so that while I had only mild 'normal' period pain, they got really heavy, but I could deal with that so long as I didn't have the endo pain.

Thanks.
So, basically, I just have to keep getting pregnant...?

Yep, that's was I was told to do LOL - keep having babies and keep BFing in between

I got AF back when DS was 7 months and ended up with 4 cycles before falling pg again. They weren't too bad, "normal" pain, not endo pain, but like Trillian, mine were also were quite heavy, sometimes with clots. That I could deal with. I dread when I'm finished having babies, of getting my periods again and if the pain will return.

Sounds good to me, but...~~sigh...

Hey Marcellus,

I had ds in jan 2008 and since a few months the af pain is very painfull again. I now have pain from o till mid-af. Actually cd1 and cd3 are the worst. FOr me, it has gotten worse since giving birth (compared to before falling pregnant). I never got midcycle pain before.
Still breastfeeding so that is no guarentee either.

Hope you are lucky tho and it has eased after being pregnant.
