Hi ladies,
For the past few months, my period pains have been getting more and more severe (I was diagnosed with endo when I was 19, with a lap and diathermy in 2001), I can't exactly pinpoint when the pains got worse, I can remember them being annoyingly painful before I fell pregnant with DS in 2005 but at least in the last year and a half it's gotten so bad that I've felt like I was going to die :no:
My main symptoms are, around ovulation time - horrid cramps, nausea, sweats, terribly loose bowel movements, the works! When AF actually arrives, the cramps are so much worse and sometimes the loose bowel movements return but mostly it's that god-awful dull ache in my uterus.
Since I was/am TTC #2 since Jan, how coincidental that my last 2 AF's (Jan and Feb) have been really REALLY short :rolleyes: Like, seriously short - before this, I would have heavy bleeding for at least 3 days. My last AF's, I'd be lucky to have your 'typical bleeding' for a day.
I've read that endo can cause your bleeds to become heavier and that you pass clots etc, but can endo cause lighter bleeds with clots too?? I feel really stupid having to ask this since I've had diagnosed endo for almost a decade, but my AF's have never ever been this short. Now I'm wondering if the chem pg I had in Feb was caused by the fact that I don't bleed for long (ie. not a very thick lining? Which would explain why I never had a successful implantation) and that it may be the endo causing it.
I'm just rather confused about all this and would appreciate another POV.
