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.
Hi Everyone...I was wondering if anyone could explain something to me. I have read and been told that having clots during your period, when you have endo, is normal. But I am wondering if any one knows why this is? All of my endo is in my abdomen and I am not clear how that can cause me to have the enormous clots during my period that I am having!

I do know that having little clots are normal but not big ones ( like the size of quarters or bigger) you should let your dr. know that you are having big clots and see what he says. I am sorry i cant explain why but I hope you get the info you are looking for. Good luck let me know !

I have them too and was told it is part of the endo. I don't know why exactly. I know that some of the progesterone meds are supposed to help with that (at least that is what they told me).

I am in my cycle now, and my clots are BIG and i can't belive how bad i bleed. i guess that i have never mentioned it to my dr before...?? Hope all is well!!

Low (hypo)throid can do that too. I finally had to be put on meds for mine and it did help the heaviness of the periods somewhat.

Hi guys, Thanks so much for your input. I am trying the depo provera shot again. On week three of it...so far it has helped with the endo pain. I had told my Dr how big the clots were and how frequent and I was told it was all part of endo. I guess I just don't understand how if the clots are related to the endo, that is in my abdomen...then how do they come out of my uterus during my period?!?! That just confuses the hell out of me! :-)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
