Hi all, I'm not diagnosed with Endo but I'm starting to suspect I might have this or fibroids. I have been having cramping/electrical current type pains from after my AF which have continued through the cycle. I was checked for a bladder infection and bacterial vaginosis which were both clear. I've not been back to the doctor since but still getting these pains. Not sure what to think.

Was wondering what symptoms others had (& if anyone's experienced this electrical current sensation too), when you got your diagnosis and if it's caused any problems TTC.

I thought I had it but after a lap (surgery is the only way to actually confirm) turns out I don't. Good news but does not explain the pain I get
I would recommend going back to your doctor, keep track of your cycles and symptoms and keep going back till they find something
Good luck

I had a fair amount of symptoms: horrendous period pains, severe back pain before AF, spotting, bloating, and painful trips to the toilet ...It's been a few months now, I'm hoping 5 months of pregnancy helped (as that's one option to fix it haha)

Keeping note of them helps esp if you go see a specialist.
