>>I am about 19 weeks pregnant. Up until now, I have had a pretty normal pregnancy considering endometriosis, laparoscopy, polyps, D&C, Asherman's syndrome, and fertility treatment. After all of this, I conceived in March without any fertility or hormonal treatment. Now in my 19th week, I have started to have sharp, excruciating lower abdomen pain that comes and goes, but causes me not to be able to function and includes pain in my rectal and vaginal/cervical areas. I did not think I could experience such pain during pregnancy. Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced endometriosis pain during pregnancy. I was always under the impression that endometriosis was reduced during pregnancy with little to no symptons with a chance of returning after the pregnancy (not during). Is this common?
