-- Susan,

I had an abortion in February this year. My periods have never been so painful since. I did not have a D&C (I had the an EMT (tablets) but I do believe this is the cause of my suspected Endometriosis. I am keeping a pain diary and am thinking of approaching my doctor about this. Have you come across anything to do with the connection of abotions and Endometriosis that applies to EMT?
