In 2006, the year I got married, I was still suffering from pain every cycle and I was still unaware that what I was suffering from was Endometriosis. After I got married in September, and became sexually active, my pain went from a 10 to a 100 on the pain scale. I didn't know what to do, the pain wasn't only during my cycles now. I would have pain about 5 minutes after having intercourse, and sometimes during it. And my husband and I were wanting to start a family, and every month we would hope that the test would show 2 blue lines but, we had no such luck. My husband new of an O.B. that had a really good reputation. And after several appointments and a ton of test and prescriptions, that were supposed to get me pregnant, I still was not pregnant and still not diagnosed with Endometriosis. It was like one dead end after another.
About a year later I was at a baby shower for my sister-in-law, and my husband's cousin was there and we got to talking about getting pregnant and she told me that she has had problems in the past and that she found a Specialist Doctor that she really liked. So I made an appointment with the Specialist. When I went to my appointment I wasn't seen by the Dr. for more than 5 minutes before he told me that I have Endometriosis. I was surprised that all the pain I was having had a name and that it was a condition, and not normal for other women to have such severe pain. I was thinking that fianally I got some answers.
