Thank you for sharing, im newly pregnant and ive felt very alone because of the amount of pain ive endured. God bless you and your baby

Thank you for making this video! I am still in the acceptance stage that I need to make adjustments prior to my diagnosis. I am feeling a lot of resistance especially I used to be very active, everything I love are high impact activities. So yeah, thank you, I feel seen and heard and a little bit more encouraged to move forward towards this life changing journey.

This is great advice I'm trying to get diagnosed however I'm apparently to young to have endometriosis and it's just my anxiety. I've researched and I show all the symptoms, how do I prove it isn't just my anxiety?

I have endometriosis snd my ovulation pain is so bad i cant move! Its short lived though. About an hour. But man its painful!!

I got some answers from my second ultrasound. My doctor said I have PCOS and a fibroid. I've always had painful periods and heavy bleeding. No idea how long I've had a fibroid for. I still think I possibly have endometriosis. My doctor has said laparoscopic surgery to detect/remove endo is only done for fertility reasons. It made me pause because I don't know if I am ready to have kids yet, but I would like to. I just don't know when. I'm going to get a hysterosonogram for the fibroid soon.

First thank you Em for making this video. Second I never heard of this index before I had surgery a year ago. I also was never told what stage Endo I actually had from my Dr. after watching this I feel sad and upset that I didn’t know these things to ask about them. So anyone who is going to have surgery please review ALL of Em’s vids and make a very long list of questions and topics for your Dr/surgeon and make sure they are all answered!! I’m not sure if this index is standard!? Does everyone getting the laparoscopic surgery get this information!? Or is this Infertility specialized? Infertility is NOT covered by insurance here in the US.

Inner thigh of my right leg

Watching this, just started my period....endo is flaring

Thank you for sharing this information.

34 years of leg pain, no-one told me this. They told me "stopp feeling so much" and "its mental"

Thank you Em! It’s so crazy how the pain you feel can be due to one thing or all the things you mentioned. Someone can feel no pain with Endo or have that one thing that causes severe pain, and everything in between. As a later in life Endo warrior at 45, TTC I’m just trying to gather as much info and listen to as many stories as I can to assess what I can do to help myself. After laparoscopic surgery and the pain returning, I feel like I need to use my own knowledge and intuition to hopefully fall pregnant as I want nothing to do with anything labeled infertility because it’s not covered by health insurance. I’d love to see a vid of some of ways we can help heal or treat our symptoms you mentioned in the vid. Please forgive me if you already have this vid because I know you’ve made a lot!! You’re the best and I’m enjoying my pain cream and teas that I got from the gift card I won from Somedays! ❤💐

You have such a gorgeous and beautiful face 😃

Thank you so much for this video! So informative and affirming what is going in for some of us women.

I'm so confused. They didn't find any lesions during surgery (only scar tissue), but ovulation hurts like hell! The stabbing is a nightmare. I have severe menstrual cramps and they're less painful. It feels like my ovaries are trying to kill me.

Thank you for this video. I'm experiencing the same symptoms with Endodien (dienogest).

Anyone who experience cough in the morning? Please let me know. I am on my 3rd week of Visanne and i am feeling happier and motivated that’s a good for me but i have cough in the morning. This cough is a bit strange

Did you do a post about your recovery and results? Thank you

I’ve watched so many of your videos they have been so helpful thank you for putting this info out in the world!

You are so beautiful and tysm for spreading awareness for this silent female cancer of a disease. My life since 2016 has been a nightware with endo. I appreciate your channel. ❤

I’m 4-ish days away from starting my period, this is when my pelvis pain begins… since going on BC pill, my ovulation is waaay less painful. Before I started BC I was basically feeling my ovary burst during ovulation and it was sooo painful for days.

Feeling guilty and physically horrible in my 3rd trimester and absolutely needed this. Thank you!

Thank you so much for making this video! Wow, things really are different with endo, huh? No wonder why I didn't feel like all that popular advice on social media resonated with me.

I have my period 2 times a month😢 i’m 36 maybe because of perimenopause

Great video! Ty so much for this. A year after my laparoscopy surgery to diagnose Endometriosis, I’m putting myself on the patch (birth control). The pain was worsening so much that I thought there’s no way I can get pregnant with this happening. I’m going to treat myself with castor oil packs, teas and Serrapeptase to hopefully rid of some of the scar tissue/pain that may have form since my surgery. It’s a risky plan but I believe I may be able to trigger ovulation by spontaneously stopping the patch to try to trigger it then putting it (the patch) back on to ease the pain/inflammation if I’m pregnant or not. There’s no significant side effects of getting pregnant on birth control so I’m praying this works. I’m basically desperate at this point so, wish me luck! I’m CD 15 and starting week 3 of the patch and no Endo pain yet!!

Thank you so much for this video. I’m still learning how to take care of my body post endo diagnosis.

Thank you for explaining

I have Thoracic endometriosis. I was diagnosed four years ago in 2020. I kept having pneumothoraces in my right lung, and they could not figure out why. I finally asked my doctor if I could have anything to do with my period since my lung kept collapsing on the first day of my period. He said there was absolutely no correlation between my period and my lung collapses. Two months later, I finally found a doctor to listen to me and had surgery, and when I opened me up, I had completely covering most of my major organs. I had to remove a portion of my lung and half my diaphragm. Two months later, the lung collapses came back and now the endometriosis has spread to my lymphatic system and they believe it may be cancerous at this point I go next week for a biopsy. Doctors need to be made aware of this and never make a woman feel like she’s crazy or that it’s just anxiety! I had no fertility issues. I have five beautiful, healthy children.

I wholeheartedly understand this as I myself was diagnosed 5/years ago before that I was happy emotionally stable . Now every month I am drowned in this gut wrenching pain hoping it to pass

Watching this video for the first time. I have stage 4 endo, was confirmed in 2018 via laparoscopic diagnostic. I hate it so much, still keeping faith that one day I’ll have beautiful and healthy babies 🙏🏾❤️. I pray the same for every woman watching and that stumble across this post in search for hope one day.

thank you very much for your video! I lost my right kidney due to endometriosis. I visited three gynecologists before the third one, in shock, diagnosed a grade 4 kidney blockage. By then, the kidney was beyond saving.

I know exactly what you talking about, I was 18 when I fond this angel doctor and she fond I have endometriosis, she started the treatment straight away, I have been in pain for just 3 years, then I left brasil and went to London and still with the treatment and when I was 30 I got pregnant, and I thought I was cured, but not, so I went to new zealand and my sintomas started all again, from my 30 until my 40, even though I told the doctors I had endometriosis, the doctors said I did had anything, was all in my head, they send me to the pain clinic, because they think was in my head, I come back to England and nothing change when one doctor said to me the same one in new zealand, was in my head, but I fight and make him to do laparoscoscopia, snd he find out no just the endometriosis,I had the operation and now 5 years later I will probably have again, because is about 3 years I have been having the same sintomas and the doctor last week just confirmed is endometriosis again😢

Watching this again because it gives me a bit of hope that I can experience or might experience pain in early pregnancy as I never did with my first two kids but this last pregnancy might somehow be different. Thank you again for making this video!! 💐💜

Never knew I had it until TTC with baby #3 and I always had an IUD put in as soon as I could after each pregnancy. So….with the IUD I never had my Endo pain. Once the IUD came out baby 1. I had an ectopic after 12 months of trying and conceived after the treatment. I think it may have removed some of the adhesions in my tube. I think it was methotrexate I took. After IUD came out with baby 2. I got pregnant after two cycles so I didn’t really think I had a problem. I did feel pain during implantation but again, didn’t think anything of it. IUD came out Dec 2021 and it’s now Dec 2024 and still no baby, diagnosed with Endo at 44 on Jan 30 2024. At least I know I’m having fertility issues. So, Endo never goes away and even after surgery it comes back. My pain is gradually getting worse every cycle. I feel like I’m back at square one in my journey. Thank goddess for women like Em who talk about their pain and keep fighting to learn and educate others on this terrible condition. 💜💐

Hi Em, thank you so much for your insight and support! I’m so happy that I found your channel. It’s been rough over here. 😅 I had a laparoscopic surgery and received my endometriosis diagnosis February of this year. I am so discouraged that I haven’t experienced any pain relief since. I am in a really dark place right now, almost a year since my surgery, with no relief from this pain, and suffering almost 6 years of secondary infertility. I’m losing hope in this battle. I’ve experienced so much medical trauma, and gaslighting through out the years that I’m so burnt out going to the doctor’s office and have major anxiety when it comes to even making a doctor appointment. I don’t even know what to do at this point or who to turn to. At this point would your recommendation be to ask for a referral to an endometriosis specialist, and continuing advocating for myself despite the medical trauma? I regret not first seeking an endometriosis specialist, it was just my regular gynecologist who performed my surgery. Anytime I’ve been to her since my surgery, she’s been zero help, so I’m really praying she’ll get me that referral. I asked my primary care doctor to give me a referral and he wouldn’t, and wants me to ask my gynecologist for one. I’m so frustrated, and just want help.

This is a great reminder. I find myself half the time getting annoyed with people because I don't want them to treat me differently because of my illness and the other half of the time I'm frustrated because I don't feel they understand that sometimes I can't manage things. I annoy myself 😂

The fatigue can be so bad. That I will wake up so EXHAUSTED and brain fogged that I CAN'T get up out of bed the day before my period. I've had to call out from work every month when this happens. Because I am not functioning and NEED to sleep. Even if I've slept for 8 hours. To me if what I would think a narcoleptic feels like during a sleep attack. It's 100% out of my control. Same with day of my ovulation. Extreme fatigue and PAIN. OMG the pain sometimes is worst than my period itself.

Yes!!! I just talked about this in my latest vid. Highly recommend this form of expression!! Love ya!! 💐💜
