Kim,
I know this is a little off of the subject, but would you mind telling
me what kind of pain and symptoms you had/have. I don't know what is
wrong with me either, and someone has presented the possibility of endo
to me. My original post is Bacterial vaginosis/Endometritis, if you
want to read what is going on with me. I didn't list ever single one of
my symptoms, but I did list most of them. Thank you for any answers you
can give!
