anyone dealing with chronic pelvic pain? i've had some degree of pain for as long as i can remember. it's worse when i ovulate and it's gotten really bad since my ds was born in 9/04. i've seen many drs., had countless u/s and finally had a lap in oct. of last year. i've had 2 c/s so we assumed i had adhesions from the c's. i did have some but nothing that would cause so much pain...drs. words and no endo was found. anyway, i've been on yasmin since july '06 and started taking the pill continously to stop my period in october right before my lap. i was still bleeding and having pain so they told me to take 2 a day. in january i saw another dr and he sudjested i tried lupron for 6 months. i had my first injection on 2/12 and i started spotting 2 days later then started bleeding heavily and passing clots that friday 2/16. i called the office on 2/23 and was told i needed to stop the bcp which NO ONE mentioned when i had my injection and basically i was od'ing on estrogen. the bleeding should stop soon. over the weekend i did slow down but yesterday i started bleeding heavy again. i have a call in to the dr but haven't heard back.

i have no idea what is wrong with me and this is starting to run my life. most days i hurt so bad i lay around and so as little as possible. i hurt all the time, most of the time sex is painful and i hurt for days after even if it didn't hurt during. i don't know what to do or where to turn. i'm going to give the lupron the full 6 months but after that then what? my son who is 2.5 comes up to me and asks me if my tummy hurts and hugs me all the time because he knows i don't feel well. i was having trouble sleeping so i went to my primary and he said i was depressed because of all this and put me on medication for that. now i'm sleeping a little better but i'm totally exhausted all the time. i'm at a loss and don't want to live like this for the rest of my life. i want to enjoy my children and do things with them and that isn't happening right now and hasn't happened in years

There are Many woman that have traveled in your shoes - even though you had a scope done and they did NOT see endometrosis does not mean that you do not have endometrosis - I have been suffering with this for over 20 years - and for me personally it got worse (even though with each pregnancy each doc said THIS WILL CURE IT) - One suggestion I will make to you is make sure you see a doctor who is very very knowlegeable about endo - Believe it or Not infertility docs are one of the best as endo is a major cause of infertility (was not for me) - Make an appointment with one - bring ALL your records with you (get copies of the US reports and from your surgery you can call them and get them yourself) keep a log of pain, bleeding ect. When you go to the doctors this is a major benefit as you have all with you - I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago and left 1 ovary and here I am again facing all these issues - Do not give up - you know your body and only you know what feels right or wrong - do a lot of research.
