Hi Cooper,
Yep, I have got it too, very badly I'm told.
I was diagnosed with severe endometriosis in 2004 - it destroyed one of my tubes, so we went on IVF and were lucky enough to conceive my daughter, she was born May 2006. When my period returned it brought terrible pain, which I thought was strange, because mostly endo is supposed to get better after pregnancy, not worse.
So my
OB arranged a laparoscopy to see what was going on, and he found that I now have very bad adenomyosis. Apparently this type of endo gets WORSE during pregnancy, because your uterus is stretched by the baby growing and the endo can actually get into the muscle tissue. According to him my uterus is the size of a 10 - 12 week pregnant woman because of the adenomyosis
.
So, we are now back on IVF, hoping for another baby before things get worse. My
OB has told me the only cure for my situation, and to stop the horrific pain, is a complete hysterectomy. I really badly want another baby first though, so I hope it all works out OK before that happens!
I hope it all works out for you too - are you trying for a family at all?
Best Wishes,
Vicki
