Help with potential Endometriosis pain?

Question: Ok I'm 19 years old and have read a lot about Endo. I started my period when I was 11. It seemed to be going alright until I was 15. That's when I first started getting migraines and irregular periods. My periods kept coming later and later, I've gone 6 months without a period before. Also the pain was SO SO SO bad. It wasn't just cramping, it was ugly, stabbing pain in my vaginal area, back pain, leg and thigh pain, nausea and throwing up, diarrhea. I went to the gyn for the first time around a year ago, pap smear was ok except for a bacterial infection which i got medicine for. I got on birth control even though I wasn't sexually active. The birth control did regulate me but I wasn't comfortable taking it, I felt like it was just covering up the problem and not taking care of it. so I quit taking it around march. Around a month ago I had sex for the first time and towards the middle I felt pain, like in my uterus area, a lot of pressure. The back pain has always been present.insight?

Go to http://www.endocenter.org/pdf/2006ScreeningEducationKit.pdf and check out that free kit. There is a self-test in there and a pain journal you can bring to your doc. The only way to diagnose Endo is via surgery, but this can help. Also - for accurate and reliable free info, be sure and visit:
