    Cramps?

    Cramps.. Are they normal when they make you fall over? They are lasting for about 5 mins 2-3 times a day. Does anybody else have them and know that this is normal?

    Sorry for strange thread name

    Hi Poopie sorry to read about your issues on this and the other thread.

    I think that a colposcopy etc should be performed and tests for any bowel disease.

    But it could well be your end. From what I can find online, endo usually goes into remission during preg but not always. I have found via google many people still complaining about endo cramps and bleeding during pregnancy. This makes sense when you think that some people still menstruate while pregnant, ie they're still experiencing cyclical hormone patterns.

    This is from an Australian women's health website Endometriosis - Women's Health Queensland Wide

    One of the common misconceptions concerning endometriosis is that having a baby will cure the condition. While endometriosis is generally suppressed during pregnancy, 50-60 percent of women will experience a recurrence within five years, with some women’s symptoms returning as soon as their periods resume. Some women actually experience a worsening of symptoms in the first few months of pregnancy (9).

    I'm so sorry you're experiencing this and hope you find a doc who takes it seriously.
