Heather,

I am right there with ya girl. I was just recently diagnosed with endo (I'm 25) and my doctor says she believes I had it since I first began menstruating. She discovered my endo through a laproscopy as well. I have it on my bladder, bowels, uterus and ovaries.

I do get cramps a lot, but the worst is my bladder problems. I go at least 20 times a day and I feel urgency for long periods of time. My doctor also said she could not remove the endo.

She also found cysts on my ovaries by doing an ultrasound.

I am also being treated for interstitial cystitus (IC), a disease that often accompanies endo, in which the lining of your bladder is damaged. The symptoms of this are very similar to the bladder problems you described.

I just started lupron and am taking elmiron for the IC. I also have the mirena IUD. Havent't had any good results yet, but I just started.

Hope this information is helpful.
