If you feel that you have Endo, see a NEW doctor that will take time to listen to you. NEVER go to a doctor that you feel blow's you off.

I had been suffering for years with symptoms of cramping, sharp shooting pains, painful sex (sometimes)and painful bowel movements. I was told it was probably a bowel problem, perhaps Irritable Bowel Syndrome. After suffering through a barium enema and a sigmoidoscopy that revealed no problems i was pretty much left with a feeling of hopelessness. Let me just tell you, pain is not normal! This past January I had an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured in my fallopian tube. I was so used to pain that I thought the pain I was feeling was "my bowel problem". This required emergency surgery, during which time my Doctor found severe endo. FINALLY, an answer. My advice to you, never give up. Find an answer and DON'T assume that doctors know everything. Go online and find symptoms for Endo and compare them to you. Always go with your gut instinct and if people think you're nuts, who cares. It's your body. Best of luck to you.

ps...I have a 5 year old daughter and never had any trouble before her birth by c section. Interesting.
