Lauren B.,
You're welcome! I'm glad to know that some of my endo knowledge may help
someone else! At least, then, it makes me feel that I haven't been
dealing with all this pain and problems for nothing! LOL! For me, yes,
my pain went completely away during my pregnancy. The endo does seem to
go into "remission" during pregnancy, so that is another plus for being
pregnant. :)
I'm really glad to hear that you have had a couple great days. I hope
that you keep having good days! I know it's easier said than done, but
try not to worry about the endo coming back so soon. My parents have
always told me to try not to borrow trouble! LOL!
