Wow, that is weird. I have the exact same symptoms as you. I have IC
and am having a lap done FRIDAY to confirm endo. I always get the pain
together. 10-13 days before my period I get the bloating, horrible pain
in my pelvis, sick feeling, pain that makes me not want to move
basically. I get funny looks when people see me waddling around because
of the pain. And when that happens I get the IC symptoms. The urgency,
pain, blood in urine. I know how you feel. I am just getting over a
bout with it. Started the 20 and ended yesturday. Can't wait for my
lap in 4 days. Scared but want to know what is going on. I am on
elmiron but nothing yet. Oh, and I am 22.
