Is it possible for the endometrium polyps outside of the uterus to bleed if you are pregnant?? I am almost 11 weeks and started bleeding at 9.5 weeks. Then i got my usual period migraine for 3 days right on time. I know i am pregnant but could it be possible my endometriosis wants to shed like it has for so long on my usual timeframe. It just seems so odd because all the things i felt were just like i would feel on my period which was like clockwork every month for me.
Forgive me if this question was already posted but i have not been keeping up with the sight for a while now. I would appreciate if anyone may have some insight. My baby is fine by the way... several ultrasounds confirmed, i just don't know why the blood comes back then disapears...

" some women actually have a "period" during their entire pregnancy and carry a healthy baby to term. i don't think that the endo growths shed because they are linked to your hormones.. unless yours is the case i mentioned above. "

" probably, it is the normal pressure on the pelvic region that we experience during pregnancy, which does cause capillaries to rupture and some bleeding from the pressure. or as you know, you have an underlying condition that can cause irregularities and they can express themselves even during pregnancy. accept that your pregnancy may be different form others, but not at all abnormal or reason for concern. moniter your symptoms, keep your dr informed, but do not obsess over them. healthy mind, healthy body. i dont know how bad your endo is,but i also had chocolate cyst disease and had a lot of "old" blood lingering around. Apparently chocolate cysts have no respect and express even during pregnacy. I hope you found this informative and not worrisome. I'm sending you some positive vibes. good luck! "
