As you were listing the 'not normal symptons' I was wondering who the hell would be able to do things like sports, have regular bowel movements on your period, and be able to live your normal life. I didn't even really know that was possible
This is really off-topic, but I legit thought you were Reese Witherspoon, and I was excited that she was raising awareness about endometriosis. You're still lovely, and I appreciate you discussing this!
I have endometriosis, thoracic specifically. It is such a difficult situation. It took me nearly 5 years to get a diagnosis. I am on year 11 now. Thanks for sharing this information with the world. Lots of women are suffering silently.
Yea I had a doctor tell me it was pretty much nothing gave my hormones and pain told me to move on but something didn't feel right I went to other doctors come to find out I had this I'm on year 3
I’m pretty damn sure I have endometriosis, I’ve been stabbed before and the feeling is almost completely the same! The pain is so intense it caused me to throw up when I was younger (I’ve trained myself to not anymore) and when I rest I’ll stay asleep for almost 24 hours. I really don’t want surgery for just for someone to confirm it because everyone in my life has seen me breakdown from pain at least once. They freak out and want me to go to the ER and I have to explain to them I’m not actually dying this is just the way my period is.
I went to the ER a couple days ago because of my period pain. I almost passed out on the bathroom floor because of it. I actually I had an organ rupture. There was a moment of "oh my god, I'm going to die". That's what it finally took for my doctor to even be okay with doing an ultrasound on me. It's so, so frustrating.
Get the surgery to clean out the endometriosis if possible. You get a few years without pain afterwards. Or start the anti inflammatory diet. Fasting, exercise...all the other things to help the pain be tolerable.
I was diagnosed at 17 in 1980. At the time endometriosis was thought to occur only in women near 35 or older. This was actually the second surgery I had for it. In total I had 9 surgeries including my hysterectomy. Five surgeries were open and four were scopes. I'm so glad that doctors have a better understanding of how this condition effects younger women and teens.
I'm 16 and I have extreme period cramps where I take 4-6 ibuprofen pills to help with pain(2-3 at a time until pain comes back), I have diarrhea and I throw up. I end up not eating the first few days of my period because of the pain, if I eat I throw up. My periods also normally last 12-14 days. My last period lasted 16 days. My mom says that some people are like that and not to worry. This has been going on since a year or 2 after I got my first period around 10 yrs old.
It's definitely not normal. It may be her normal because there seems to be familial similarities and cramps and issues can be common, but it doesn't make it normal. I'm so sorry you aren't being heard when you're suffering. See if you can provide your mom videos that you find to educate her so that you can advocate for yourself. Work on her to get her to take you to a Dr to begin the process of getting treatment that can help. I'm 43 & wish I had advocated for myself sooner. Luckily for me the likely fertility issues weren't a problem since I've never tried having kids, but at your age you really don't know how that journey for a future family will go so you don't want damage in case you choose to have kids one day. Per my research, EXPERT surgical excision is definitely the gold standard treatment. For me, birth control has never been helpful to significantly help symptoms and caused side effects of its own. I wish I had known sooner to advocate for myself.
I have the exact same symptoms as you except for the heavy bleeding mine usually last for 5-6 days and i have medium flow, but the cramps are unbearable, I barely eat anything when im on my period like 1 meal a day and that too in small portions. I am afraid of vomitting and making the cramps worse.
I went for a hysterectomy today due to pre cancerous cervical cells. I’ve had really bad pelvic pain, period pain and pain during intercourse for a few years now. That’s what made me go get a pap in the first place. Glad I did or I wouldn’t have caught cervical dysplasia. But after my hysterectomy they said they discovered I had started getting endometriosis. THAT would explain the pain I’ve been having. I killed two birds with one stone today. SO glad I had the surgery!
Hello, I went yesterday to have a full hysterectomy to only find out I have endometriosis and still have all my reproduction parts except 1 tube, I got referred to a Dr that specializes in endo to see what the next steps are. Hope you are recovering wonderful!
I just had a hysterectomy and Dr also told me I have endometriosis. Great 😓. What advice can you give? Have you started taken a daily progesterone? Dr advised me I can take that. To suppress the “pain” But a side defect is weight gain (as w everything 🤦🏽♀️) and bleeding. I don’t want to bleed that’s why I had a hysterectomy. Ugh. Idk what to do.
@@sglover3664thank you! Recovery went really well and now I don’t have anymore pain. I feel normal again so I am really happy with my decision. Hope your recovery went well too and doing great :)
@@amorales015hope your recovery is going good so far. Luckily for me they got rid of all the endometriosis so I don’t need to take anything now. I had a total hysterectomy. Is that what you had?
This video almost made my cry. I was never diagnosed with this. But everything you explain about painful periods, minus vomiting that was me. I never had a problem getting pregnant and my symptoms seemed to have changed once I had children. It is interesting to me that you mention this is autoimmune. I also believe my mom had this situation. So this could be given to me through 2 factors genetically and or because it is autoimmune. I started the carnivore diet and within my first cycle I had expirenced really my first time ever of 0 pain in a period. I felt like a period was a beautiful thing, not something to be dreaded.
Just got diagnosed today with 90% certainty stage 3 endometriosis and 2 cysts. The doctor said she was confused how no one had diagnosed me with it before. I will be having an operation next week and medication to suppress it from there, hopefully to avoid a major surgery. Thank you for the informative video! ❤
Endometriosis is a fully reversible condition. It is mostly caused by a high-carbohydrate diet. Carbs = inflamation + insulin = hormone disruption = endometriosis Fastest and safest way to completely reverse endometriosis is to stop eating carbs. In other words, try the carnivore (or keto) diet for three months. I guarantee you that your life will be completely changed for the better if you do carnivore for just 90 days. Look up Dr. Kiltz. He is a fertility doc that combines cutting edge western medicine with diet to recover fertility. You don't need to be on birth control. You don't need surgery. You don't need to live with that pain and suffering. Change your diet and in 90 days you'll feel like you have a completely different body.
@@LC-sp9ox she first diagnosed me based on history and ultrasound but to remove the cysts, she did sclerotherapy and took a biopsy. The diagnosis was confirmed based on the biopsy. Sadly i have no insight into how severe the condition is because sclerotherapy doesnt allow the doctor to have an actual look inside, its ultrasound-guided.
I had an investigstion last year into the problems I have with excessive pain and mood swings, I usually have a day or two off work each month because the pain gets too much. I get lower back pain, hip and leg pain, migraines, cramps and spasms, and I get an excruciating sharp pain in the lower left of my abdomen. I nearly called an ambulance the first time I felt it. And the mood swings, well, I feel like a different person. I ususlly isolate myself if I can, because I become so nasty and erratic. I saw a 'specislist' about it last year, was told my ovaries are 'enlarged' but there was nothing to worry about and until I decide I want children they won't do anything. Didn't care in the slightest that my life self destructs every month, I miss work, and feel pain that literally puts me on the floor. I left that appointment feeling invisible. Like I don't matter. Unless of course I want to reproduce, then I matter a bit more. But until then I have basically been told to suffer in silence.
You aren't invisible. I see you. Endometriosis is a fully reversible condition. It is mostly caused by a high-carbohydrate diet.

Hello love, Please continue to look for a better obgyn doctor. Look for reviews and (if you are comfortable) ask on your local fb women's group what obgyn they recommend and WHY ... For example, valley women for women in AZ were great when i went there several years back. Your wellbeing is worth putting in the effort to keep trying. ❤
The pain is one thing, but the mood swings. The bloody mood swings have caused more destruction in my life than I can imagine. Every month, the entirety of my energy is spent in fear of the next round of horrible mood swings that'll ruin more of my relationships with others. There is absolutely no grip. I feel so bad for myself and anyone who has to interact with me during the mood swings. Isolation has become the only way to save my ties with the people I care about. My parents and long-time friends have an understanding, but people who I have newer relationships with are most affected. I don't understand what I should be doing.
I just turned 40 last week. I was diagnosed with endometriosis (through laparoscopy) when I was 16. I went through depo lupron and provera back then. I wish my Dr had discussed fertility with my family and I back then. Anyway, I've never been pregnant and today after binge watching a few of your videos I feel inspired to see if I still have a shot at motherhood.
@@henrythecat3094 Not yet. I've spent the last few years working on ovulation naturally. I'm going to see my ob/gyn Dr in May so plan to have my fertility discussion then.

Thank you for this video! After many years of undiagnosed endo, finally had a laparoscopy in 2021. This month we are finally starting IVF after conceiving naturally post surgery but unfortunately that resulted in miscarriage. Looking forward to your next video! ❤️
Yes I have endo and I found out about a decade too late , wa wa , if my gynecologists ever talked to me like you , I might have been able to save my eggs before it was too late . Thank you for sharing such important reproductive health information!
I have endo and just got a BFP pregnancy test on 8/7/23 hoping and praying my little bean implanted in my uterus and not my tube again. I had an ectopic in January 2018 and lost half of my right tube. Thought I was infertile. God said yes! When I said No ❤️❤️
@@K.DeVille my dear girl, be strong, now is the time to get as much rest as possible and get your body into a state of relaxation. You need to create an internal environment that your little bean is going to be comfortable in. Please consider doing some vagus nerve breathing exercises for relaxation and also listening to calming music with frequencies that support love. And of course pray. I pray that you and little bean will have safe passage in your journey together. Please remember to feel joy for the life that you are carrying so that little bean knows he/she is already loved. Be blessed.

You are surrounded by the team of loving and supportive angels that God has given charge over you and your baby, don't be shy, tell them what you need right now. You are braver and stronger than you know even when it doesn't feel like it. Sending you a cyber hug
I used to experience horrible breast pain to the extent that wearing bra and showering were huge struggles. The breast pain always hit me -especially my right breast - at least 2 weeks before menstruation. Symptoms: breast tenderness, lumpy, and formation of cysts and fibroids. This right one has a number of cysts and fibroids than the left. All in all, the discomfort was such a nightmare that i often worried that i had cancer 😢😭 Recently i underwent laparoscopy to remove this culprit from my right ovary after discovering that it had grown bigger to 5cm from an ultrasound. M so glad that i had it done as i am free from breast pain today! 5 days to menstruation and i am happy ~ say bye bye to mood swing 😊🥳 Just that i have to be on medication permanently and my gynae suggestsd birth control pill to prevent the return of endometriosis. Another proposed solution is to get pregnant which hopefully will help in hormonal changes 😂 but i am not going for it.
This is what I needed today. My doctor refuses to even look into it when I’m pretty sure I have it. I had painful periods growing up, dark spotting before my period now, pain gets worse during intercourse, and I’m infertile right now. How can I advocate when my doctor laughs when I bring it up? I’m so frustrated with this whole process.
@@CBNX7 Problem is here in Canada you have to be referred or spend money on private clinics for $150 a generic visit. All the good doctors aren’t taking patients.
I have endometriosis and got diagnosed at 18. It's definitely been a rough journey only a couple months into it. I got diagnosed with a 3cm endometrioma on my left ovary. I definitely agree that it should be talked about and spread more! It's a very under talked about disease.

Much needed video Ma'am. I have been suffering from last 14 years... Every other doctor told me its just a bad period and hormonal imbalance. Or don't over exaggerate the pain. Got diagnosed this year. Excruciating pain and heavy bleeding feels like I am in a blood pool. Thanks for this video as now I know that I am not alone.
This is such a fine line, I just turned 39. I have been diagnosed they called it cyst on the ovaries at age 30, and that I voluntarily asked for the ultrasound,and when asked to remove it surgically, the gynecologist told me if your ovary bursts , we will have to remove it, since that day I have been traumatized and never went to see that gyno again. And since then , I have been just getting ultrasounds left and right to monitor the size of those cysts, they call it chocolate cysts. Been trying to conceive for 5 years and been to 2 infertility specialists, and that’s when the first infertility specialists said I have endometriosis on my both of my ovaries , and they are size 3cm on both of my ovaries, and requested straight to do ivf, I wanted to try less invasive and less expensive options first and that insurance covers. Tried clomid , and nothing ,when I found the 2nd infertility specialist this year I have been on letrozole , clomid for the past 6 months and failed iui , nothing . And now that I want to consider a surgery, infertility specialist recommended not to as it can compromise the egg reserve, but endometriosis already compromised my egg reserve for the past 9 years almost a decade that I knew I had cysts on my ovaries. And I am at that stage of life to just go for the surgery with a endometriosis specialist surgeon ? Or forget about the surgery and go straight to IVF? My heart goes out to all the women who have been diagnosed with endometriosis and have infertility issues. Please get ultrasounds even in your 20s and dont take endometriosis or cysts on the ovaries lightly. It’s sad there are gynecologists out there that does not take endometriosis serious and just say keep trying or take birth control , which I believe can be the cause of getting endo in the first place. But I am not a doctor , however I do educate myself and I wish I educated myself way earlier in my 20s . Good luck to all the women who on a roller coaster and hardship trying to conceive.
I have endometriosis. I didn't take birth control until after I was diagnosed, and it's been an absolute lifesaver. I don't believe it causes endometriosis.
Same have you had a lapriscopy yet? I know it's only been 6 months but I hope you're hanging in there. Just got out of a psychiatric stay for it because I thought I was going insane
@@GloomyStrawberries I haven’t even done anything tbh im scared of doctor visits hospital visits etc😥😭 also my period is a few days late it was supposed to start last night and never did
Very informative. Im having pain and several issues that have lasted for almost 2 months, but the obgyn i went to is not testing, not imaging, not helping. Hoping to find a new one. Grateful for the relief that's coming.
I have had inflammation markers on my blood work for years, sent to multiple specialists. This is the first time I have heard it could be related to Endo. After 9 years I finally had a doctor go "your symptoms sound like Endo would you like to have the surgery to check it out?" I went in to have a discussion on a hysterectomy since the pain has been debilitating; this was the first time Endo ever got brought up for me. Scared and excited to see if this is actually what is going on and that it can be managed.
My mom had this and was treated like a freak because she was super hormonal and had excessive weight gain. But she found a great doctor who properly diagnosed her, and had a hysterectomy when I was young because it was very bad. But she felt significantly better after that and later on in life.
Thank you so much ❤. I am 38 years and I probably have 2 huge (10x8cm) miomas, and will schedule an OP to get it out. I was looking for information from a reliable source and I’m so glad I found you!
I’m on progesterone and it was literally the only thing that improved my pain, aka made it manageable(I’ve had the painful periods since I was 12) so yeah pretty sure I have it..

Thank you for such an informative video. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2017 and had a chocolate cyst on my right ovary. I had surgery to remove it and have had almost no pain during my period since then. My doctor told me I have stage 2 endo and my husband and I are currently trying to conceive for the past 6 months. Can you please address TTC naturally with endo? Thank you again💕
Can you do a video or podcast on low estrogen? I’m struggling to find good, trustworthy information on it in regards to ttc. Upcoming appointment with a doctor and I just want to be self education to ask good questions and understand them. Thank you!
Natalie! Thank you so much for your videos. You always make me feel so seen and at ease. I need to find a doctor who advocates like you do where I live!
It all started at the age of 13, one son painful child delivery and didn't get diagnosed until 36 during hysterectomy.... Crazy how women are not being heard. We are many times dismissed 😵💫
I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo about 8 weeks ago at age 24. My husband also has mild MFI. I have had 2 periods since surgery, and my plan is to proceed with IVF in the near future. I’m wondering how long after surgery you would recommend waiting before proceeding with IVF? What is your typical recommendation for your patients? Thank you for all you do! I’m a PA in internal medicine and frequently refer patients to your videos!
I've been suspecting I have endo for years, but my doctor said I don't because my cramps go away with two liquigel advils, but if I don't take them on time, I'm bent over in pain and feel like crying. It's so bad. I talked to a friend last night who had a hysterectomy because of bad endo and I described what I was going through (bloating, bad cramps, pelvic discomfort between period, painful sex and bleeding after sex, insanely heavy flow (I have to change my cup four times a day because it literally overflows. Not leaks, overflows.), huge clots in my period, etc.) and she said it was exactly the same symptoms as hers.
Thank you for this video! I have a follow-up question. Is there such a thing as "normal" amount of pain during period and ovulation? I've been suspecting that I may have Endo for years, but most gynecologists I've met say it's normal to have some pain and indigestion around period and ovulation. So I just want to understand how much discomfort and GI symptoms are the "norm" and at which point I should seek a GYN who is known for treating or managing endometriosis.
(Wife here!) I had a laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy almost a year ago and I believe I developed post-salpingectomy endometriosis (will be seeing my doc about it). I would love to see some videos geared towards childfree healthcare/ lifestyle options! Your videos are so helpful and informative, but women trying to conceive aren’t the only ones that require reproductive healthcare 🖤 thank you for educating people about these topics. It’s not talked about enough, imo!
Honestly, an ultrasound technician told me to request an MRI referral from the OBGYN. The gynecologist may ask you to elaborate, but if your insurance covers it, you should push for it regardless of what your doctor is saying. I’ve been trying to find answers for almost a decade now, and unfortunately having to advocate for yourself assertively seems like the only way to get answers when it comes to reproductive healthcare… :(
2:45 I have three direct family members who has had endometriosis and I was still pushed to the side when asking doctors to check. 😢 “Not enough evidence” shameful practice. “Youre too young” 11:31 my story .. pain eventually stopped on its own. But can’t get pregnant
Thank You for this video. I am 20 and really think I have endometriosis. I have mentioned to a few doctors that I have been to about my symptoms and they have put me off and didn't take me seriously. I have no idea what to do but really want answers, struggling a lot. Is there a way to talk to you doctor about my symptoms? I am in Chicago and can't find a good doctor here.
Excellent video you’re so clear and empathetic. Do you know of any reason for anovulation after a miscarriage. I had a missed miscarriage and required a D&C months ago and my ovulation hasn’t returned. In the past I was worried about PCOS but we didn’t really investigate it. I’m booked to see a specialist but wait times are long. Has this happened to other woman? I get my menstrual cycle but low LH and doesn’t look like I’m ovulating. I know it can take time to return after a late term miscarriage or live birth so I’m hoping it’s just that. Anything else which people recommend getting checked when I have the appointment? Feeling anxious
I've always used Piroxicam or Mefenamic acid for period cramps cos other NSAIDs didn't work. As of 5months ago, both drugs aren't effective (only relieves 20% of pain). Also, I started experiencing bad pelvic & low back pain with bloating & diarrhea from Day 12 (different from the one-sided ovulation pain). Shortly after it subsides, PMS takes over with similar symptoms from Day 22. I've been worried lately cos of I'm in med sch (3rd yr) which is super demanding so I plan to see an ObGyn in January. Just wondering if anyone has a very similar experience too.
Hi Natalie, Thank you for this video! You mentioned hormonal treatment - is the combined pill with both estrogen & progestin recommended? Or progestin only? Thank you!
Once my period is over, im gonna go get myself checked up. The pain is unbearable, i suffer a lot during my period. I take Naproxen 550mg 2 days before my period starts (estimate with a period tracker) and i take it thru out my period but it doesn't seem to work at all. I tried drinking ginger tea twice a day for a whole month and that did not work. I feel like someone is stabbing my lower stomach over and over again. Once my period is over, im already in so much stress waiting for the next period. There are days i hope im dead before the next period

Does lasting damage to nerves ever occur with endometriosis that causes sciatica or nerve pain? Or does endometriosis only cyclically compress the nerves or spinal cord?

I'm only 16 and Im going to the gynecologist next month as my primary doctor referred to one. I'm not sure if it could be endometriosis but i have alot of the same symptoms. I get very very very bad pain in my back stomach and sides. The back pain is sometimes more severe then it is on my stomach. I get it randomly through the month but it's so much worse on my period. Ibuprofen does nothing heat does nothing. Also idk if this is weird but sometimes when I'm walking while not on my period I get this slight cramping feeling on my left side near my hip bone. I also have irregular bleeding. I also get alot of blood clots. But while on my period it will like stop and start. Like day 1 I have a very heavy period but then day 2 it completely disappeares but then I still am getting cramps during my periods "disappearing" moments. The cramps will get so bad that I will be like shaking sometimes. My cramps also get worse when I use the bathroom. I also feel very fatigued and sometimes dizzy and nauseous when I'm on my period. Also embarrassing enough I get diarrhea only on my period,,,. Could this be signs of endometriosis??? I'm scared it could be but I'm also scared I'm just being dramatic
Hi! I just turned 20 last week but I’ve been feeling how you feel since I was about 14. Im considering myself if I should see a gynecologist. I started bc five months ago and it’s helped with my periods being SO heavy, the nauseous faint dizzy feelings, and the shaking which I used to get when using the bathroom. But I still get the slight cramps before my period, the lower back pain, but im also feeling pain run down my legs and my stomach feels so tight and bloated. How did your appointment go? Also, hope your feeling better ❤
@@amyrrhbearer sorry you've had those symptoms for so long. My appointment also went pretty well and the gynecologist listened to me and I'm getting an ultrasound done on the 11th. Sadly my symptoms have not changed much 😞
HI! Please never feel like you are "being dramatic"! What you are describing here are horrible symptoms and I hope you find a doctor who takes you seriously and helps you. I wish you all the best and hope your symptoms get much much better. xxx
@@helloooo0617 hi there 💕 I’m so sorry to hear about what you are going through. I’m having similar issues with the pain, nausea, bowel changes, etc on my period. Are the wanting to check for endo??
I wish you were my doctor. I’ve been trying to find a cause to my symptoms for years but every doctor I’ve spoken to just brushes it off as period pain
Thanks for this video! Would love if you could talk about endo & IVF. Does endo affect the stim/retrieval phase, or just (possibly) the transfer/implanting phase?
I’ve ready many papers and it’s noted that it’s not endometrial lining , it’s SIMILAR to endometrial lining, it’s not the exact same tissue. What are your thoughts?
The pain is so bad every month and I would consider mine mild. I'm thankful though I will never have children, possibly a daughter I could pass this down to. Life with this is so not worth it to me. I'm also glad I can deal with this pain without being a wife or mother and that I can schedule things around it without being punished.
I am almost turning 17 and I have been having horrible period cramps for about 3 years. the pain is so bad that I can't stand straight, can't walk, and feel nausea and bloating. last week, I had to leave the exam room because I couldn't bear the pain. I don't know yet if it's endometriosis but I really would like 2 know what's the cause of this severe pain I experience.

I suspect that I might have endometriosis, and I was diagnosed with IBS many years ago. I’m starting to wonder this myself, maybe I don’t even have IBS and instead, I just have endometriosis and everything would be fixed if I could take care of it.

45 no kids, history of fibroids had myomectomy, ultrasounds been clear. I got off the pill to get bloodwork to check if HRT is needed. Gyno is saying I need to be back on pill until I reach 55 since my symptoms are back. What is this going to do w Testosterone levels in long run?
If inflammation is such a huge factor for fertility and miscarriage, is it such a risk to take neproxen or advil while pregnant? Or is the bigger risk taking those inflammatories?
How to get pregnant and stay pregnant. Got pregnant naturally after surgery 1 1/2 years ago, ended in miscarriage at 8 weeks. Did IVF. First transfer in September didn’t work. 2nd transfer in October implanted but HCG didn’t go up at 4 weeks. What would you do differently?
I just had endometriosis removed from my pelvis, bladder, intestine and ovaries, I have no idea what "stage" I have/had.. I got so little information after the surgery. Was just told that I should start up on birth control, as soon as possible.. I just had my first period after the surgery, and it's still very painful, had to take codeine to be able to go to work.. I've had these issues for 20 years, I honestly thought it was normal.
31 year old NEWBIE TO "officially" TTC 🙋♀ I have questioned my fertility over the years but my GYN said all was "good". Two years ago, I was diagnosed with endometriosis and PCOS via excision surgery. i have a schedule appointment with my first RE. Is there a recommended line of testing you suggest with these conditions?
I’m 24 years old and I have such an irregular period ( I’ll completely miss a period or sometimes I’ll randomly bleed for just one day),pain during intercourse sometimes. I don’t have access to any kind of insurance, what should I do?
I have endometriomas on both ovaries which confirma I have endometriosis. I get bad pain in pelvic during periods and sometimes ovulation. I also have fibroids.
I am 34 have recently been diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis(through ultrasound) with bowel involvement and kissing ovaries, endometriomas on both ovaries and moderate adenomyosis. Im in Australia have been waiting for surgery for 6+ months already. Have been trying to conceive for 12 months with multiple miscarriages at 6 weeks. AMH and all bloodwork are good. Doctor just says keep trying while waiting for surgery. I have changed my whole lifestyle and diet. What else can I do treatment wise to help my chances of carrying a baby naturally?
You could try TCM (Traditional Chinese Herbs) and acupuncture as an adjunct to the lifestyle and dietary changes. My mother spent about 6 months having this after multiple miscarriages and being told by doctors she'd never carry to full term; she went on to give birth to 5 more children. Additionally research has shown that acupuncture has been found to increase rates of clinical pregnancy when acupuncture was done during IVF.
Hi mam is any chance to conceive in endometriosis plz help me I try all the method I become totally helpless and hopeless I am very alone no one understanding my pain
Is adenomysis also an endometriosis? I always have very painful period since my period started at age 11. I have to take painkillers bec the pain is making me faint. It was only diagnosed in my 40s when I had endometrial hyperplasia with atypia. Through numerous ultrasound it was found out. I’m still experiencing painful pelvic now that I’m menopause. Is that normal? My gynecologist said it’s atrophy.

I've been dealing with horrible painful periods for 2 years now. I'm in bed for 4 days with heating pad and a lot of ibuprofen and Tylenol and it don't really help then usually add another 4 days of pain but it's tolerable. Ive been to doctors and I still feel like I'm being misdiagnosed. All of my pain is in my left pelvic low abdomen and sometimes low left side of back. I've been told it was my sciatica nerve. I went to ER yesterday they did x-ray said it was bursitis but I'm still not convinced that's what's wrong. I feel like nobody cares what I tell them and they just keep pushing me off to doctor after doctor. I'm so frustrated and aggravated

Can someone give me advice. So I got my period when I was 13 years old. I'm now 26 years old. I've always had very very period pain. I've always super un regular periods. Like I've always had mine skip 2-3 months at times never been every single month. As I got older then pain got alot worse. The Symptoms I have are really really bad cramps in the lower Abdomen area, back aches, Diarrhea and constipation, Heavy bleeding then very light bleeding. Then back to Heavy bleeding again, very bad depression, bad bloating, Fatigue and anxiety. Do you think I might have pcos or Endometriosis... I wanna get tested but I'm scared. I've had a Miss carriage when i was 23 years old. There's been times where I could of most definitely fallen pregnant, when I was ovulating. But I've always been shown on tests Negative. I' keep thinking I'll have a very hard time falling pregnant. I always have pain in the lower Abdomen after having sex. Even when I was a teenager. Can someone give me some advice what they think this might be.

Is there a connection between this and arthritis? I'm just curious because you mentioned auto immune diseases, and i was diagnosed with early onset arthritis at 26 and have ALWAYS had 7-14 day painful periods... usually, i am laying in bed the first 2-4 days (it can vary). Incl other symptoms. Also, i was onlynable to get pregnant twice at 19 and 21... im 35 and haven't been able to conceive since. There has been no prevention for pregnancy since i was 24/25. I have been with my husband for 18 years. I have made my peace with it, but it is VITAL that YOU, Younger ladies seek treatment ! Idgaf if you have to obgyn shop, find a doc who will TAKE YOU SERIOUS! ❤ Best of luck.
I had pain since I was 10 when I had my first one, I missed school lost colour in my face needed shots no one could understand why it was happening a close family member has it and since giving birth 4 years ago it's been the worst I've had. I've had to have blood transfusions as I became anemic from the large amounts of blood and had to be put on the pill as a teenager
Hi Dr. Nathalie, I had a failed a IUI & IVF. Been trying to get pregnant for 5 years and was diagnosed with right endometriotic cyst and with dilatation of distal right tube. There were only 6 eggs retrieved to me, 4 matured, and 2 were transfered, but to no luck. My Dr. said to do the IVF again after 2 months. Do you think it is the right protocol for my case? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
What I'm having a hard time with is Sciatica pain and i can't get anyone to tell me what it stems from. I do have firbroids but they're confused because the fibroids are not to them of significant size. And i have pain even when I'm not on my period
Thanks for the excellent video, I have had period pain for many many years, basically when my period started and now I am 36 and finally after been to many doctors they are going to do a camera and take tissue for testing under general anesthesia, not the laparoscopy but still hoping they find out if its endometriosis after all the years of vomiting, heavy bleeding, bloating and now more bleeding between cycles and very short cycles. I sometimes vomit up to thirteen times a month due to pain. Would anybody know if this testing can still show up endometriosis? Thanks for your help here .
