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.
I was feeling great after my surgery last August. Staying on the BCP's, only taking the placebos when I started to spot bleed. Which was usually around two-three months.
Now over the last few months I'm starting to feel the endo creeping it's way back into my life. I'm only getting a few weeks between spot bleeding, if I even stop spotting at all. I bleed from my hoo-ha every time I go #2. Even though my appendix was removed with the last surgery the right side pain is creeping it's way back. And having sex with the hubby I'm hiding that it sometimes hurts. I'm not ready to tell him yet, I guess. Not that he wouldn't be awesome, I'm just not really wanting to deal with it yet.
I have an appointment with the doc who has been on this journey with me and we've charted via email and it's too soon for a surgery again, plus I don't think I'm mentally ready for surgery again.
But what happens next? Where do I go from here? Just wait it out until it's time for surgery? Then what about in another year? Ugh

I feel the same way you do. I often ask myself if surgery is something that will need to be done every few years, like I said just had my third lap. It's so exhausting! Is this really my life?
I'm sorry you're having problems again so soon, but I can't say I'm surprised. While I'd prefer to put a positive spin on this evil disease and the "treatments"...I just turned 53 last month as I was suffering horrific pain and cramps with phantom period- - -no uterus or ovaries for 20 years. This pain is EVERY month...sometimes ALL month long=(
There are more questions than answers, but your bleeding IMO needs to be further investigated. Please keep us posted! HUGS=)
