Hi Marsha,
it doesn't sound promising. I haven't yet been properly diagnosed with
Endo but the doctors highly suspect that I have it since there is a
strong history of Endo from my mothers side. When I read the symptoms
that some of these ladies are having on this site as well as the info
that I have learnt about Endo the more I'm convinced I have it. I have
had all of these symptoms at one time or another. Heavy Clotting is a
normal part of my monthly cycles and I can tell you that they are
anything but normal. They can also be very plainful. I usually have
them for three days into the cycle with heavy bleeding. As far as I
know, it's normal for non-endo to experience mild clotting, but not the
amount of clotting your describing. I certainly don't think that the
type of clotting I'm experiencing is normal.
Regards, Maria.
