I was just wondering- I also have allot of pain, and sometimes some
bloody discharge (not flow-but small pieces)- I went for a laboroscopy
during March and was told that I have endometriose, and should try and
get pregnant as soon as possible- i went back to the doctor, but it has
been 3 months since I've seen him. Is this normal (discharge)?
Please help!!!
