Hi!
Sorry for delayed post! I hope you'll feeling much better now!
What you did about your condition? Did you visit ER?
Are you bleeding still? Do you feel weak?
I agree with your doctor that you may have endometriosis. You have all predispositions(began getting period at an early age, heavy and irregular periods and close relatives with endo) and many symptoms that lead to that diagnosis(very painful menstrual cramps that gets worse over time, lower back pain, abdominal pain and bloating, pain during and after sex, fatigue, heavy and irregular periods, spotting between periods, problems with urination)
In this condition, there are growths of endometrium(lining of uterus) outside of the uterus in other areas(under or on the ovaries, behind and around the uterus, bladder, bowels and even lungs)that are responding to monthly hormone changes with building up extra tissue and blood, but there is no place for the tissue and blood to exit. They can cause inflammation,scars and infertility. For this reason, growths tend to get bigger and the symptoms of endometriosis often get worse over time. This is leading to a gradual decline in a womens general health, as well as the health of her reproductive system.
The BC pills your doctor gave it, are suppose to make endo less painful and your period less uncomfortable and lighter. This therapy usually helps in women with small growths of endometrium who don't have bad pain, by blocking the effects of natural hormones on endometrial growth.
I'll suggest you to visit your doctor in October and if you don't feel improvement from the BC therapy, is best for you to have laparoscopy done. This procedure is diagnostic and used as a treatment at the same time. If he find some growths he can take pieces for microscopical diagnosis and he can remove the growths and scar tissue.
Surgery(one type is laparoscopy) is usually the best choice for women with endometriosis who have a severe amount of growths, a great deal of pain, or fertility problems.
You need to treat this because is interfering with your life.
Please, don't miss your appointment in October. Finding out that you have endometriosis is the first step in taking back your life.
Best wishes!
