Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
For you that don't know me... Im Ashley Solecki. Im 25 years old and currently trying to conceive. For the past 10 years of my life I have had long and painful periods. This past October I had my 1st lap, Dr. Blacker found stage 3 endo. She cleared most of it out in surgery but had to leave some that was on the outside of my uterus. Since the surgery I haven't had much change. The only thing different is I went for 28 days apart to 27, 26 and now 23.
My question for those who have had children, I was 3 days early this month and I have lighter bleeding then Im use to and from what I can tell the bleeding is going to end soon. I had light cramps the first 12 hours and nothing ever since... which is not normal for me. Is it possible that this is my implantation bleeding? I cannot seem to find a site that explains if there is any difference in woman who have endo for implantation bleeding.
Im trying very hard not to be one of those woman who wont let it go that Im not pregnant this month.... however I feel like this isn't right. I am not known to have a period for only 3 days and no cramps. Im use to 7 days with very mind numbing cramps! Please let me know if you had implantation bleeding when you became pregnant and how long it lasted.
Thank you so much! :)

I didn't have implantation bleeding when I got pregnant, however I do know that the implantation bleeding can be on a completely different cycle than your normal period.
I don't want to scare you either but endo can sometimes cause ectopic pregnancy if it is on your tubes. I had one and I cramped and spotted. If your cramping gets worse, you might want to check that out.
Sometimes ectopic pregnancies don't show on a regular home pregnancy test either, so just listen to your body.
Keep trying, and don't give up hope. :0)
