You're not alone, hun! That's one of my biggest issues with endo. In all seriousness, this is a great place to come for advice or just to vent about something like this, because so many of us have this issue to some degree.

For me, it's every time, and sometimes it's too much to bear and I have to stop. The pain is intense deep inside, and lasts for 2-3 days after-wards.

We know a couple of positions that never work, and a couple that are better, so we stick with those. I think positional pain depends on where your endo is mainly at, or where it's worse, but I'm not sure.

I hope this doesn't get any worse for you, it's rough to have it even at all. Just remember, you're not alone!

Ugh so I typed this big long response and it wouldn't post and I lost it! Luckily for me it isn't every time but when it happens man does it hurt! I have been having flair ups recently and I'm really hoping that my "plan" isn't failing on me again. I have been very stressed and that is one of my biggest triggers but I always get nervous when I have my bad days. My boyfriend doesn't seem to understand. He is very compassionate and helps me when I'm having my bad days but he just doesn't really get it. The other night before one of my really bad Clair's we were hanging out at home and I asked if he wanted to get intimate and for whatever reason we decided it wasn't a good idea or whatever and then the cramps began. He proceeded to ask why I wanted to if I had cramps. So I had to explain well 95% of the time I have cramps some times are better than others and honestly when they are dull I don't really notice them anymore. Ugh the struggles.

If you can take advil before I think it can help, and just don't go too deep. Warm bath with espom salt after can help relax the muscles. Or a magnesium supplement if you don't have epsom

Thank you I'll have to try the warm bath idea. It doesn't happen every time so I don't want to take Advil incase I don't need it. :/
