I can tell you that from my experince, I have had cramping with all 5 of my pregnancies. I have endometriosis too. When I am first pregnant I have the worst endometriosis pain. It is supposed to go into remission but mine takes awhile to do this. I finally get relief at about 8 weeks.

There is so many changes taking place in your body right now that it is normal to expect some pain. I think the endo makes it worse though. I hope that the relief can come soon for you. I know what it is like to feel the way you do.

Congrats on your pregnancy!!
