I can't do any bc for the same reason. My periods have been coming every 22 since my third lap in November ( which revealed no endo now)...yesterday I woke up with my period...just 12 after I started my last period ( it just ended last Tuesday). In that last week I had increased pms symptoms ( my boobs hurt so bad everyday!, I was crying at the drop of a hat, was really fatigued, lots of headaches.).

I have been bleeding since May 11th (with 1 week off) Had my 3rd lap this passed Thursday and my dr cauterized my cervix....would ya be damned..I am STILL bleeding..I cant figure it out...I have have been bleeding non stop since May 11th with little to no breaks in between.

I am also not on BC...due to the same reasons you arent...

I have my post op appointment I will see what my dr says..if he says anything that helps I will let you know..

Take care!

HI there....

I used to be as bad as you, with the non-stop periods, and couldn't tolerate BC either. Maybe a D & C? Or Endometrial Ablation? Just tossing ideas out there for you! And be sure to get checked for anemia. I'm hoping you all can get to feeling better!!

Take care and God Bless,

Thank you ladies, I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. I am very angry, I can handle one week every month for pain.... however I am not having this 3 periods in one month crap! A person can only take so much. I feel like the surgery made it worse... I know I needed it to diagnose my endo. I feel that Doctors dont know enough about the disease to be scrapping around and poking at me. How do we know that surgery isnt making it worse.

I was suppose to get surgery every 2 years, I have already told my husband, thats not happening. The aftermath of the surgery alone was awful! My doctor has tried to talk to me about a hyster, but Im not going to allow any doctor to line there pockets by butchering my insides. .... its not normal to remove body parts... and we know its NOT a cure for Endo.

Makes me wonder why women get hysters with the knowledge of the stats of 80% of women still have Endo after the hyster. Plus now on top of your Endo pain, your going through Menopause. No thank you... my hot flashes at the age of 26 are bad enough already.

Thank you again for all your support...

Ash,

I agree with everything you said.

I wouldn't recommend surgery every 2 years unless you have pretty crazy Endo...I say this because...I just had my 3rd at the 2 yr mark and due to my diet change and what not I managed to keep any lesions from forming...I had a lil bit of endo that he lastered off but I was clean...no new lesions or anything...and now I cant stop bleeding either...I mean I was bleeding BEFORE the surgery and now I am bleeding after when I am supposed to stop...so all in all I still dont have the answer why I am bleeding but at least I know I dont have any lesions....

See if there is anything else you can do...maybe go on a BC that is mainly progesterone???

Ashley - a thought...
Could you have ovarian cysts? Jasons little sister kept getting her period and bleeding etc...ultrasounds showed PCO it was out of the blue. Starting your period later is also a sign...increased weight gain etc. Worth a check?

Is this just something happened recently? or has been ongoing for years?

I know this was a post for awhile ago but I am not on bc and get my period often twice a month. Im lucky if I get two weeks of no bleeding. I am going to try bc pills tho because I cannot take all the pain and discomfort that goes with it. 2 weeks out of evey month I am miserable....sometimes 3 weeks. Its getting harder and harder to live this way.
