Q: endometriosis or ovarian cysts?

I am a 23 yr old mother of 2. My youngest child is 19 months old. I used to have regular, although super heavy) periods. When my daughter was about 6 months old, my periods started changing. I get terrible mind consuming cramps, bad headaches and I sleep a LOT during my periods. The cramps are most often in my lower left abdomen, the left side next to my belly button and my lower back. The strangest thing about my period though, is that even though it is still REALLY heavy, it's not even like blood. It's more like water that rushes out of me and soaks through tampon after tampon. It feels like my water is breaking all over again every time I have a period. I don't know what it could be. It just baffles me about the fluid. It's not a light discharge, it's a full on flow. Clear most of the time, tinged with the littlest bit of pink. Anyone know what it could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd say it was possible, although I have never heard a flow of clear fluid as a symptom. Have you talked to your doctor about it yet?

Flooding is definitely a symptom of endometriosis but not clear watery fluid. Still, there are enough symptoms there to suggest endo. I would go and see a gyno!

You should definitely see a gyno to get some tests and questions answered.

It also needs to be said that having children WILL change your periods and bleeding, it is simply a fact of life.

It could be nothing..

Usually ENDO does not just 'happen'. Most women with ENDO will have problems as YOUNG teenagers, around the time that they first begin to have a period.
