Dear Susan,
there can be a lot of reasons for irregular bleedings.One might be endometriosis.But you're diagnosed with it - so if I would be you, I'd go back to the dischargeing doc and ask him what stageing he would put on me and what is the follow up.Are you in treatment with an gynea (or your GP)-because they get they discharge letters of the hospital.
Because before anyone can really answer your question it is impotant to know what you're on.
So please go and ask them!!
And then read up about endo what you can ,to make yourself a better picture of the desease and whatch your body - how you are personally reacting on it.
Sorry, that there is not a better tip I can give you.You really have to know first what endo do you have.
My heart goes with you . Sybille
