Congrats on being able to have a baby in spite of the Endo.  Having a baby is not a cure, as some mistakenly believe.  You need to have the disease treated effectively, particularly if you are experiencing secondary infertility, as you mentioned in response to the oral contraceptive suggestion (OCs are also not curative or even the best treatment for the disease).  I suggest seeing a true Endo specialist and perhaps even involving a Reproductive Endocrinologist if infertility persists; chances are once you get the disease effectively removed, the infertility will resolve, but if not, an RE can help you go through necessary protocols.  See www.centerforendo.com for information on effective treatment for the disease. Good luck and remember you're not alone!  www.endocenter.org

I had intense pain with my periods, irregular periods, and heavy periods when they came. I ended up finding out I had endometriosis and adenomyosis. Go see your gyn.

OK I HAVE PCOS FOR OVER 7 YEARS NOW AND 10 YEARS AGO I WAS TOLD AFTER I HAD MY DAUGHTER THAT I WOULD NEVER EVER HAVE ANYMORE CHILDREN DUE TO THIS CONDITION. I WANTED ANOTHER CHILD SO VERY BAD.I AM ALSO OVERWEIGHT PARTLY DUE TO THE PCOS AND WITH THIS DISEASE IT IS ALMOST IMMPOSIBLE FOR ME TO LOSE WEIGHT.AS FAR AS PERIODS GO I WOULD HAVE ABOUT 3-4 PERIODS IN A YEAR AND THEY WOULD EITHER BE VERY LIGHT ALMOST NOTHING TO VERY HEAVY.I WAS PUT ON PROVERA TO REGULATE MY PERIODS AND CLOMID FOR FERTILITY FOR ME TO CONCEIVE WITH MY DAUGHTER 11 YEARS AGO. DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR I THOUGHT I HAD OVARIAN CANCER AND WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND FOUND OUT THAT I WAS 6 MONTHS PREGNANT AFTER BEING TOLD FOR 10 YEARS I WOULD NEVER HAVE ANYMORE BABIES. THE ONLY THING THAT I GIVE CREDIT TO FOR GETTING PREGNANT THIS TIME IS THE LORD ABOVE. I PRAYED SO VERY HARD TO HIM AND ASKED HIM WHAT HIS WILL FOR MY LIFE IS AND WHATEVER IT WAS I WOULD GLADLY FOLLOW. WELL 6 MONTHS LATER I BECAME PREGNANT AND JUST HAD A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL MARCH 6TH GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS AND DON'T GIVE UP HOPE

Endometriosis makes it VERY hard to conceive but it can be done. It's best if you try soon after your surgery when you are the most free from adhesions and cysts. They will probably prescribe a birth control pill for you to regulate your periods and slow down the progress of endometrial growths from recurring. Take this for about 3 to 6 months after your surgery and then try to get pregnant. If possible, ask for depro provera, it's a birth control injection you get like every 3 months (?). It stops you from having mentrual periods which is good for women with endometriosis, because the periods are so painfull anyway. Keep in mind though, that because you have this disease, it never goes away and will continue to bother you more as it progresses throught the years. So if there is any possibility at all of you conceiving it has to be done while you are still young and after having the surgery is best time to try. Let your doctor know you want to conceive and he can prescribe a medicine (they are also given by injections) that will slow the growth of the endometriosis and allow time for your pelvic area to heal. It has awful side effects like nausea, fatigue etc, but is worth it to take if pregnancy is your goal. Good luck. I've been there, know exactly what you are going through!

Everyone reacts differently. Some people find it's improved, many find that they develop post partum depression. This should be discussed with a doctor.

Thye call the first bleed 'locea' after having a baby. Thats only because your body has spent nine long months preparing for another little person inside, and everything as you know stops.\n\nMost periods after having a baby can appear either light in appearance or very heavy with a little clotting. Hopefully your next true period will either be a heavier one or different to the norm. Either is perfectly normal. My periods are so much lighter since having my second child.]

Yeah, my stomach was still big after birth.  It's because your uterus is strecthed so big, so once the baby is out, your uterus is just there.  It goes down after a little while...it really will go down faster if you are breastfeeding!  : )

Go to the Doc's and ask about "Endometriosis" (I hope I spelled it right) LOL.... But it's sounds like that's what you have! Nothing horrible but basically it means you have a "tipped" uterus. I have 4 kids but it took me almost 3 yrs to get pregnant with my first one!My period's are real bad and I have cramps like you wouldn't believe too. So go to the Doc's and ask him about this! You'll be ok, I promise!! And this one website is good to www.webmd.com i love it!!!! Let me know!! Good luck!!!

Endometriosis. I was doubled over for months while the doctors tried to figure out what was wrong and what to do with me.

It's been a while, but I know I didn't wait that long afterwards.\n\nDo you know your risk if getting pregnant again is EXTREMELY high after giving birth?\n\nUnless you want another one in nine months be careful!

Yes it is all pregnancies are different because you have a whole new person growing inside it's possible that you are pregnant with the symptoms you are describing go get yourself a test sweety i HOPE YOU ARE GOOD LUCK

I had a tipped uterus. I have three children. It's a little harder, but it still is very possible. It just may take a little longer. The main thing is not to try too hard. You get pregnant when you're not trying so hard.

I went through maternity once... and yes, your insides really do get "pushed" up higher, so you might get a lot of wacky sensations, like that thump, thump, thump in your neck from changes in regional blood pressure.... very unpleasant.\nBut it's perfectly natural.

Sorry to inform you but that is what I call life.  Having children ruin your body.  Unless you are on a strict diet and exercise regimen that it how it will look or if you have good genetics and return to normal.  My 3rd baby did it to me.  He is almost 3 but I am also not interested in exercising like a freak.

I like to be called baby every now and then. If she calls me baby too much I feel wierd, like I'm a big baby. I rather be called babe, sweetie or honey instead of baby any day.

go to your Dr and deal with what comes out of it best do that sooner rather than later.l.At this point you would be worrying   too much and maybe unnecessarily,using up energy you could be using with your new baby and life and yep use contraception if you don't want another baby just yet.Every girls body is different. Good luck

Yeah it's normal - you moved, tore, bruised tissue in ways it is completely not used to.  It will heal, you'll get better, but you WILL feel that sensation again in life - after you heal from each child you choose to have.  It's like losing the virginity all over again, since the tissues have been pulled, pushed, torn and bruised by childbirth.\n\nIt does all get better - I promise.
