What was your biggest Challenge with Endo? Show your support by Commenting!
My journey starts in 2007 when I had an ectopic pregnancy. They had to remove my right tube. I was 14 weeks along.
After that, my whole world came crashing down around me. The pain and bleeding that followed were insanely unbearable I couldn’t move out of bed to care for my 3 children. I went to several different doctors before I found one that believed me.

I pondered this for a while before going through with it in 2014. Four years later, I am going under the knife…for the 6th time.
This disease takes over your life. I have literally been in bed for 3 months with debilitating pain. There needs to be more awareness and options of the care of this disease.
