My Endometriosis Story - Endometriosis Symptoms, Pregnancy and Surgery 

Thank you so much for this video. I'm 16 and have stage 2 endometriosis. My boyfriend just left me because of that, we were together for more than a year so I can't believe what he did. My heart is broken. But I realise everyday that this illness is making me stronger. To fight back, every single day.

It is so fortunate to hear that you could still carry your baby despite the endometriosis. Very lucky! I hope I could be a mother one day too

I have endometriosis I also had my left ovary removed because of a huge cysts was growing on it which damaged my left ovary lost 3 pregnancy afterwards now am 27 weeks pregnant with endometriosis isn't God good🙏

Complete admiration on your positivity! I’ve suffered endlessly now blessed with 2 beautiful children and pain returned 😢 praying it settles again it’s so draining..

I don't have endometriosis, but your story really resonated with me. Thank you! I have about a half dozen chronic illnesses, and I spent a few years sulking about them in despair when I was first diagnosed 15 or so years ago, but I've since learned, just as you described, that treating my body with kindness (including exercise and healthy food) and working with my conditions leads to a happier and healthier life even with my illnesses. Thanks for this video!

Thanks for sharing your story. I just found recently that I have endometriosis and reading stuff online made me down but with your story I find hope.

Your story is so similar to what I am experiencing. Extreme pain on my lower right side, and my obgyn suspects I have this condition as well. Just by reading the symptoms, I agree I probably have this. I am 31. I am so happy you were able to conceive naturally! Thank you for sharing this!

I found your videos the summer while experiencing another horrible period. I got diagnosed with endometriosis today. So thankful I found you! Similar symptoms!

That's incredible. Your story really gives me hope that I can still conceive even through this horrible disease.

I just showed my husband this video and he said, did you give her a script of your life. 😅 this is huge. Thank you for posting your story. I have an appointment tomorrow so now I feel more empowered going in having this knowledge now.

Omg, I went though the same symptoms and medical experience, going to emerge, same ruptured cyst and no diagnosis and then exploring the colon etc. Going in for a lap finally next Wednesday after 20 years of pain. Wish me luck! I am so sorry you had to go through this, our medical system needs to catch up and have more options for women.

Thank you for being so open and sharing your story. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 5 years ago and had a surgery. You said you were suprised that it had gotten worse and that the endometriosis was back. It is good to keep in mind that endometriosis is chronic and is always there. Every time you have your period there is a risk of more scar tissue and/or a cyst. The best remedy is to take birth control or hormones to get you in artificial menopause to stop the cells from spreading. I’m very thankful for my doctor who suggested the artificial menopause and it has improved my quality of live so much! It also gives you a better chance of staying fertile, because it will stop the scar tissue and cysts.

It took 10 years for them to diagnose me...even though I asked them to please look into it when I was 16. I'm so happy you were able to conceivee fairly easily. Im so worried about that. I had my first surgery for this January of this year and it didn't work. I have it worse(only 11 months later). I'm defeated. So, thank you for sharing.

I am glad I am not the only one, had my surgery this past April.. I been trying to get pregnant since May 2022... I am hoping to get bless with a baby soon..

I'm so glad you said "it matters how you feel instead of the label that has been put on paper" - i am 34 years old, and had no symptoms of endomitriosis. I had a week worth of pain and lots of bloating in january 2020 and had various tests done. No indication at all of endo. I was told i had common cysts that would need draining. On Monday just gone, I had a lap and cystectomy finally, and I was told I had stage 3 to 4 endomitriosis with frozen pelvis because some of the tissue had attached to my bowels. I'm obviously heart broken with this news and still trying to make sense of it and process it. But i dont feel sick or like anything is wrong with me. So I'm trying to focus on that xx

Thank you for sharing. The only symptoms I have is very painful menstrual cramps and during intercourse. Intercourse have been so uncomfortable that I've avoided it for five years now. It's for religious reasons as well. It's hurtful, but I keep praying for healing before God sends me my husband.

Thank you for sharing your story! I turned 37 and like you, have secondary infertility. I had my second lap this April but unfortunately the cyst grew back this time on my right ovary. I'm currently on Visanne to try to shrink it and hopefully when it's gone we can do an FET this December. Sometimes this situation leaves me depressed, feeling like my life is at a halt, waiting, hoping. Again, thank you for sharing your journey again, found a lot of things in common with you - gives me hope to someday hold our second child in our arms. Please do more or IVF yoga, pilates or other exercises that can help prepare and strengthen the uterus. God bless you, Jessica!

You have been blessed with getting pregnant. 🙏 I think I'm in that limbo of still getting an actual diagnosis...no children yet after many years... 🧿

Hola Jessica, thank you so much for sharing your story. I have gone similar story going to the ER with a horrible pain, omg and I have felt hopeless for not knowing what to do :(. Now, I feel different thanks to you 🤗😘 namaste 🙏

Wow so glad I found you. After two surgeries I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis. I kept having constant prolong heavy cycles with pelvic pain. First I was told I had a cyst then I was told my endometrial was too think until the last surgery the diagnosis came back with the endometriosis. Going to see a fertility doctor because we also want to conceive. Second marriage and we both have children from past marriage. We would like to have one of our own. Best of luck to all the ladies who are facing this challenge. We must give up. We do our part and G-d does the rest 😃

I wish I found this channel sooner, thank you for all your advice and sharing your story! I feel so alone with this sometimes, I can’t wait to watch the rest of your vids!!

Jessica, I found that the unprocessed emotions from childhood create my symptoms, pain on ovary feelings of not being loved by parents, in the centre of uterus feelings of not being wanted, also the feelings not being wanted as a woman

Thank you for sharing your story & experiences. I find your exercise videos great because I although I don't have endo, I have chronic pain conditions & I can always find a video where the exercises won't strain my system enough to put me into a flare, unlike a lot of physio/exercise recommendations I get. I always feel like your experience with pain infuses your sensible & practical approach & your clear explanations always help me understand what is behind the exercise & physical therapy. I'm sorry that you've gone through so much, but I'm very blessed you apply your experience & understanding to your videos. Thank you!

I’m turning 34 and just had my surgery last December to removed cysts in both of my ovaries. We are being referred to fertility doctor, hearing your story gave me hope. I want to get pregnant so bad 🙏

Very encouraging as I have thought for a long time that I've had endometriosis. Thanks for sharing your story ❤ and your videos have really helped me

You put it so nicely! Thank you for being objective and realistic yet full of hope!

Thank you so much for this video... I have endometriosis and had my laparoscopy about 10 months back... We are now trying to get pregnant and just hope to get lucky...I do yoga generally, and have just started doing pilates after looking at your videos.... Thank you for sharing your journey... More power to you...

such empowering video.. Thank you! I am an endo warrior too. I do not feel any pain or symptoms though, but yeah, it's there. It's a battle in the mind really, and you are so right about the labelling! Moving forward, I will do what helps me physically, mentally and spiritually.

Thanks for sharing your story. I will have surgery this coming Feb 2022. Its been a long journey for me the pain that never go away and i dnt Understand. Finally been diagnosed and will finally have my quality life back looking forward. After having a child 16yrs ago wondering why cnt have again but its bcos of endometriosis.

Thank you for this video, I am struggling so much with my endometriosis. I haven’t had surgery to remove it but the appendix operation I had, they couldn’t actually find my appendix because of the amount of endo. I hope the specialist can help me in June. I have been TTC for a year now and I have just turned 28 😔

One of the best endometriosis video I’ve seen....Thank you 🙏

Thanks so much for sharing your story, it has motivated me.

Thank you Jessica, I found a support in you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Now, I am afraid to face this endometriosis.

Thank you for sharing your story, I have been suffering from this problem every since I was 16 years old and now I am 44 doing 45 .the pain was so bad when I first experience this and I did not know what it was ,I went to a doctor and after some checkup the doctor sent me to do an exray test and then he told me that this was my problem .this pain is make me feel like I'm going to go cripple sometime when it starts and I walk around the pain cool down a bit but once I sit down the pain come right back

Thanks very much 🙏🏽 am waiting for my results In an hours time, I was worrying to much but after listening to you, all my worries are gone ,thanks 🙏🏽

i am 32 y/o and have endometriosis , had 2 operation at same c section in 2008 n 2009 n now i still having the endometriosis, doctor said that i might have stage 4 endometriosis because of what i feel for the pain. i want to have baby and get pregnant. i try this supplement - evening primrose oil + fish oil. but dont know how far it takes, because i only ate for 1 week now . i still can feel something in my stomach. can feel the cyst in my tummy. really hope that this endo can cure without have an op again. because some doctors refuse to do the op and some doctor will try the best, but not with the easiest way. so now, i decide will not going to have an op, but will try some supplements. so sad having this endometriosis. because i really want to have my own kids oneday. but with this endo , it is hard. and even with ivf , the cost is too high for me n my husband. i just pray that i can have my own baby n kids. i am 32 , feel like we are getting older n older. quite sad. i am married just when im 30 y/o. 2 years of marriage. but in 2008,2009 i was 23 y/o , too young when having the endo at the time. and i cried a lot. sad a lot. just wonder why all these things are happened to me....

Thank you for the relatable video, it helps me feel hope.

You are an angle❤️ i love love love you! ❤️Wish you health and happiness. Thank you for sharing this ❤️

Thank you so much for making this video, I really needed this.

May God bless you more and more

Thank you so much for this video, its enlightened me.. Im having mild endometriosis diagnosed in 2019. I'm still in the process of accepting it. I thought it was just a simple ovarian cyst and mild endometriosis that can be cured of food supplement and vitamins...But recently, my last checkup last month i already a frozen pelvic.. and need of surgery...it pains me a lot specially the doctor told me that i wont be able to have a baby...

Thank you for sharing. Trying to figure out if I have endometriosis myself. Appreciate your openness.

Prayers for you and hope you feel better!

Thanks for this video. May i ask if you can talk more about IVF and how much it cost? Did you take bc pills to manage pain? Or when you’re not.. do you have diet you followed? Like do you eat red meat, soy, gluten or dairy? I have endometriosis too.. had my ovarian cysts removed in 2010 and then i have fibroids too.. any more info would hepl! Please? 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your story.. I am also have endo stage 4 and want to have kids

Thank you for this informative video

I just had a laparoscopy yesterday and they couldn't do a thing because they said I have frozen pelvis!! It's a very hopeless feeling. Even in the endometriosis club, you feel even more isolated sive frozen pelvis is like the rarest of them all. Very lonely feeling. I can't even get surgically treated like the rest. That would be a treat for me as an option.

Thank you for sharing this! Did you have the ablation or excision for your endometriosis surgery?

Thank you for your videos, I recently watched a scoliosis one of yours and it eased some of a the aches a little which is appreciated. Take care

Thank you so much Jessica. Be blessed.🙏🙏

Thanks a lot this uplift my spirit because I break down today because of the excruciating 😖 pains. I have MRI this Thursday then I’ll hear my surgery date.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I had a laparoscopy 6 months ago. After over a decade of infertility :( I don't have any typical symptoms of endo. Does the symptoms directly indicate if the endometriosis is getting bad.

Thank you for ur video..doc diagnosis me an endometriosis 2002 after my Cs operation. Till now I still feel the pain but I never go see my doctor again thats why I dont know what stage I have now ..I am now 45 yrs old still having intercorse do I still getting pregnant while having endometriosis?

After surgery in order to heal and maintain: 1. Exercise like yoga, pilates, etc. 2. Eat anti-inflammatory and gluten-free diet. Also, Candida Diet is good. 3. No birth control pills

Thank you for such information. My friends left me, everyone started hating me as think that i am making tantrums

So you had a baby at 35 then another at 45? Amazing! I use iserra for my scar tissue. Anytime I have surgery I take it(serrapeptase). It helps to get rid of scar tissue

Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️❤️❤️ so glad I found this video.

Thank you for sharing!!! It gives me hope!!!

This sounds so familiar. Thank you for sharing and for your thoughts!

You uplifted my spirit.

Thank you so much for your story!! I have had pain for years like you described when you first went to the er, but I didn't have health insurance so I just sat with it too afraid of the cost to find out what was happening. It wasn't until the pain would last for days and I wouldn't eat because it hurt to digest food that I sought medical help. Thankfully, I now make enough money to qualify for health insurance through the marketplace, otherwise I don't know how I would afford the ultrasounds, MRI's, and soon to happen diagnostic surgery. In the meantime, I am also managing my pain through diet, which has helped so much. I do still get pain from one of my cysts that's up to 6.5cm and growing. Hopefully they'll remove it and my between period pain will decrease significantly.

Could you talk about the financial aspect of the IVF and ur whole experience

Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏

Thanks for giving hope😇

Wow, thanks for sharing you’re inspiring story x

Thanks for sharing your story! Im realates for all what you've said in your video! I will apply your some tips especially about the diet for Endo!

My doctor diagnosed me 3 months ago that i have an endometrial polyps. I have my second opinion thru tvs utz and its confirmed that positive for endometrial polyps. So i asked her whats the reason because yearly i did my tvs and in my previous results all are normal. And i dont have any symptoms like bleeding my menstruation are normal monthly. Im so worried thats why im still searching and i found your channel so i did the exercise every night and hoping that this will help me a lot. By the way I have my schedule tomorrow for saline infusion sonography. Thank you.

I do al lot of your pilates movements en it's helps me. I have endometriosis stadium 4 and I have a surgery that during 12 hours. We did in March this year the last try icsi and I hope it's helps to have a little baby. ❤️ thank you for telling your story.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi Jessica , I had bilateral endometriotic ovarian cysts, any chance i could get pregnant with active cysts on both my ovaries

Hi Jessica, thank you for this very informative video. I am beginning to think this is what I’m constantly suffering with. Could you please tell me if you had problems with cycle, severe bleeding etc or if your pain just came at any time of the month not just during a period. Also what stomach/bowel issues did you have if you don’t mind me asking? I have debilitating bowel pain with diarrhoea and been diagnosed with IBS but am so much worse usually at ovulation and my hormones/moods are so out of whack. Thank you so much.

Bless you for what you are going through. And sharing your story. Tears came to my eyes. I resonate with your story so well. I had to go to two different doctors several times and literally beg each one to see if this was my problem. The first doctor refused to examine me for this. They both said oh you look fine your tests are normal it can't be that. It wasn't until I cried in the doctor office and he examined me for this. I have adenomyosis as well. He told me not to be concerned. But I definitely am. I now know that doctors only do so much and don't care. Thanks to your exercise videos and your story I will be on a road to recovery as much as possible. Sorry so long I have absolutely no one to talk to about this. Thanks and take care. BTW I subscribed :)

Praise God for He is Good!!🙏🙏

I would like you to tell us if your pain was constant or onlyduring your period;

I had server lower back pain, I also had right side pain. I had the fullness on the rightside middle quadrant pain. They couldn't figure it out. Then I got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 08. I knew it was something else an I kinda knew I had endometriosis. I also got diagnosed with IBS 09 when the whole time it was my endometriosis. I finally got diagnosed December 2019 I had recently had my son Jan 21 2019. Due to super lower back.

Thank you for sharing. Going to have surgery in February, stage 4, no kids yet. Will look into having the anti-inflammatory diet and exercise.

Hi dear nice video, which grade endometriosis you had?

Thank you so much for this

would you be able to share your anti-inflammatory diet?

Can you tell me that after your surgery have you started birth control pills ? As my doctor put me on birth control pills .are they save?

i have endometriosis i check up last 4 months ago to my OB and she tels me that i have latrogenic endrometriosis im 27 now and i will go to hospital on tuesday . cheking whats going to do to my endrometriosis surgery or pills . gudluck for me🙏🙏🙏🙏💪

I was just diagnosed with stage 4, they only did an MRI and blood tests to diagnose me. I had no idea I had this, they found it by accident. I am trying to figure out what my next steps are. I have multiple other conditions that make it difficult to really treat with medication because of the side effects. I just feel at a loss and not sure what to do now.

Thank you for sharing

What supplements did you find helpful? Did you continue to take these during pregnancy?

What vitamins?

Hi Jessica l was diagnosed with this desist...right now lm 6 week pregnant. My question is how did u feel during your pregnancy and if you had any trouble during your pregnancy. I have alot of cramping.

I am curious, if you don't mind me asking. I finally spoke to a NP about my symptoms and my pain and it is exactly the same as yours. I have this right side pain that radiates to my back. I also have digestive issues like gas, bloating, feeling full. I also went to the ER, and they told me everything is normal and that was twice. So the NP said I should speak with the doctor about endometriosis and I have heard it about it, but I am sure you know they never think that is the case. I am just waiting on my apt for May. My question is where is your endometriosis located? I am curious because a lot of other people say they have the lower pelvic pain, not the right sided pain. Thank you !!!

When I finally went off ALL meat, dairy, gluten and sugar it took almost 2 months for my pain to lessen and 6 months to completely heal. I was hoping that it wasn't diet related but unfortunately it is. After helping many clients and a few friends who have been healed from this, I finally believe that diet is the number one solution to severe endometriosis. I limit my consumption of animal flesh or mucus to one serving a week. Zero gluten except on very special occasions and take several digestive enzymes. Elimination is best. I hate it but I hate being in pain more! 💜

Did you experience contraction type cramps and bleed while you were pregnant

Did you try serrapeptase?

You are so lucky

Did oocyte retrieval easier for frozen pelvis..since ovaries too embedded in adhesions cant b visualized in laproscopy plz reply me..

I was told I was lucky to get pregnant and have 3 healthy children on my own. Cause I have endometriosis that I did not know I had until 10 days ago.

Hi . I want to ask that diet can be help in endometriosis. Po kz reply

Hey girl, what age were you when those ER visits began with abdominal pain?

plz tell me that what precautions shold be taken during pregnancy if someone get pregnant with endometriosis???

You are the best

I’m in a weird spot because I’m very certain I have endometriosis and I had a miscarriage about 10 months ago, I’m in the in between phase of not knowing if I’m pregnant or if it’s just endometriosis symptoms. I had spotting 13 days after I was done with my period and have been more emotional than normal, and have had strange symptoms come up, but I’m trying to be cautious with not reading too much into the symptoms I’m having. The hardest part for me is not knowing what’s going on with my body and waiting to get my period to rule out that it was just endometriosis and not pregnancy. I’m just so confused 😕 Edit: I had also taken a pregnancy test yesterday and it came up negative, but I’m still waiting for my period to come since I’m not late yet.

Thank you soooo much!!!!

Thx
