Thanks for the info. I am scheduled for a thorough ultrasound with a
radiologist to deternmine if there are cysts, fibroids, etc., and if not
then the doc. and I are pretty confident it is the endo. back. No
doc. has sais anything to me about the miscarriage and endo. going
hand in hand, but it makes sense. And it is very scarey. Thanks! Good
luck to you too!
