I'm not sure if I'm in the right thread here but I have been having some issues lately that are concerning to me. I've always had incredibly painful, heavy periods, but I just thought it was normal. The pain is always the worst in my back, sometimes my cramps are so bad I feel as if i'm going to faint. It's quite hard for me to get through that first few days of my period and do much of anything. Recently I've started on birth control (Sunday start after my period ended) and I've been having tight back pain every single day and cramps on and off since the end of my last period. I also get very frequent migraines which I am not sure if it could be related. I know this website isn'y meant to be a doctor's office but I was just wondering if anyone with endometriosis could relate and maybe tell me how they felt when they found out they had it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
