My OB/GYN just recently told me that I may
have endometriosis. I do have alot of the
symptoms, but I was wondering if you could
have nausea with it. I have been SO
nauseated lately, and it's not like a sick
on my stomach nausea, but just like a
really crappy feeling. He said that he has
seen it before, but I was wondering if
anyone on here has had it before with
theirs.

I found out in January that I have
endometriosis. First my doctor has me on 2
different kinds of bc pills. Which always
make me very sick. Then he did surgery,
which seemed to help. After that he gave
me 3 Lupron injections. That made me sick
too. Not a good experience. But now he has
me on the Nuvaring. I am always nauseous.
I don't know if it's the nuvaring or the
endo. My dr doesn't think it's from the
nuvaring. But I have missed 3 or 4 days of
work in the past month b/c I have felt so
bad.

I am basically just waiting on the
medicine to work right now, and if that
doesn't work, then he is gonna do the
shots.

I had quite a bit of nausea before I had
the surgery to fix some of my
endometriosis. Still taking bc for it, and
had two other surgeries since. Whenver it
came back, the nausea would return as
well. It sucks. Sometimes I wish men could
either give birth or have our menstrual
problems...wait I take that back, I would
take birth over a period any day lol. Let
the men have our periods.

So the nausea came back when your
endometriosis did? Ugh, I am so tired of
all of this. I almost just want to have
everything removed!! haha Does your bc
make you sick at all?

Yeah it makes me a bit more nauseated than
usual however its nothing compared to the
pain of the endo.

It really isn't fair that men have no clue
of what we go through!!! I am hoping that
is was the nuvaring that was making me
feel horrible. I took it out yesterday.
And so far I am feeling pretty good.

laparascopy Posted: 08-07-08 13:24pm
My OB/GYN told me the last time that I saw
him that if I still wasn't any better by
my next appointment, then he would do a
laparascopy. How do they do those? Do they
do it in their office or what?

They will do that in the hospital. Mine
was same day surgery. I got to go home
about 3 or 4 hours afterwards. But they
will put you to sleep and they stick this
thing in through your bellybutton. It
lasers off all the endo. And then he might
give you a few stitches or just use glue.
My dr used the glue and now you can hardly
see where he went in. I had two periods
after my surgery and I hardly knew I was
on it!! It's incredible! I've never had
that little pain with my periods before.
But the past few days I have been nauseous
again. I am going to start my period
within the next week or 2. I wonder if
that has anything to do with it? B/c I am
no longer using any birth control pills or
the nuvaring. I was scared to death before
my surgery... I am terrified of needles!
haha So that was a pretty big deal for me.
But it wasn't even close to being as bad
as I thought!!

not surgery Posted: 08-08-08 10:41am
Actually, it's not the laparascopic
surgery that they are doing I was talking
about the laparascopy thing they do to see
how bad your endometriosis actually is. I
know what you are talking about, though.
You are talking about the surgery itself
where you get the endo fixed.
