Hi,
i just went to the dr this morning and she is beginning the testing (possibly lapro in the near future) to determine if I have endometriosis. I'm 24 and totally freaked out. I have never heard of this pelvic congestion, so you've given me something else to look into.

Do you have kids? How are you dealing with all of this stuff happening at such a young age? I am single, and have no kids. You can understand my confliction over this.

Being able to talk to someone going through something similar would be nice.

It is hard to deal with these things at such a young age. I already have a daughter and a step-son so not looking to have anymore. I would give anything to get rid of the pain. Pelvic congestion is varicous veins inside I guess is what they are telling me. Not quite sure. I have my two week follow up on 1/31 so I will be sure to post any info I have that wll help. I wish you the best of luck and I hope everything goes good for you. Be strong and tell the doctor's what you want. It took a long time for them to do something about mine, at one point they told me that it was mental. Yeah ok! Keep in touch!

I have had problems with my periods my whole life. They've said it was stress induced. The pain started recently after a bad sexual experience. I went to the doctor two weeks ago and she didn't want to discuss anything until my pap on feb. 8th. Yesterday my occasional pain throughout the say became constant and i'm not even close to starting my period. So, I called and was as aggressive as I could be given the fact that I was terrified.

Anyway, I have yet to talk to anyone other than my mom today because it is all I can think about.

What the heck do I tell a guy I meet and get involved with? "i may have trouble getting pregnant."? I mean I feel like this is something that should be disclosed up front. Who's going to want someone that may not be able to give him children?

And I thought just finding someone was tough.
