endo. irregular bleeding?

background info quickly. got period age 11, 5 week cycles. started the pill age 14. stopped in april 2009 started ttc. periods were regular 4 week cycles. m/c in Jan 10. after this went back to 5 week cycles. diagnosed with endo about 5 months ago, awaiting my op.

3 months ago i started spotting on about DPO 7. got so excited thinking it was implantation but no such luck. it has happened every month since then. so i bleed from about DPO 7/8 - DPO 15 when af arrives. then period for about 4 days. almost 2 weeks of bleeding!!

is the common for endo? how much abnormal bleeding is too much? i dont really know what my question is. i think im just searching for anyone with similar irregular bleeding. its frustrating thats for sure!

Hi Kezzy

I have endo, had irregular bleeding - would bleed on and off all the time (heavy too), went on the pill probably at fourteen like you, but started to get to a point where I was spotting/bleeding still... I had a lap June last year, and I've been taking the pill with no break (no sugar pills) since then.... I've started spotting all the time again which is a PITA so I'm looking into seeing a chinese herbalist... getting off the pill etc and seeing what happens, seeing if that will help.

I do think irregular bleeding is pretty common with endo, I feel your pain, it's so annoying!!
