All the doctors who've agreed I have endo did so from examining the swelling around my uterus and sonograms (the painful internal and the external kind), and the fact that I do not bleed normal "blood" but rather my periods are very light and so extremely painful it's not abnormal that I'll be bedridden 5-6 days a month. Once I stopped my periods, I stopped the endo.
Endo occurs in my family, so it was pretty obvious from the get-go when I first got my period and first endo attack when I was 14; my mother has it, so did my aunt, my grandmother and my great-grandmother. I am the only one who was not operated on because of my endo. I am avoiding any surgeries now, because I know it takes me a looong time to recover from them!
I'm so happy I can chemically stop my periods. No periods, no problem.
