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 know this shouldn't bother me because pregnancy is the leading cause of nausea in women, but I HATE it when I'm not feeling well at work and everyone automatically assumes I'm pregnant. On the days when my pain is really bad and I'm worried that I might not be able to get pregnant I just wanna wring thier necks and scream at them for being so rude. How can I get people to understand without explaining to all of my co-workers what I'm going through? How can I tactfully deal with these callous people thinking they're so damn smart?

one good blow out could salve the problem. They will never say anyting else about it. No seriously people don't think. Around here where I work it is a common joke, anytime anyone feels a little under the weather "they are Pregnant". No one take in acount those who are despratly trying to become pregnant. My friends thought I was crazy when I told them that's what I was doing. The new woman working with us has many problems that are causing her problems concieving. They just don't think until you tell them and you can't tell everyone without sending out a memo.
Here's a hug for you.

I feel so very much for you! I TOTALLY understand how this would upset you. If one more of my friends comes to me and says they are pregnant, I'm going to pull my hair out and run away screaming. I have more reasons than just my endo for not being able to conceive, but any reason makes it hard!! I try hard not to say anything to anyone, I know I should be happy for them, but wow, the gut wrenching feelings that come with running into, talking to and just knowing pregnant women is without words. I agree with robicrow, you might just have to let loose one day and they will never say a word again - that is if they have a nice bone in their body!

    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...
