Can You Get Diagnosed With Endometriosis During Pregnancy?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Port Orange, FL

I haven't been diagnosed with endo, I do however have some concerning symptoms, like severe pelvic/uterine pain, terribly painful periods, and the pain gets worse during ovulation too. And, there has never been a time where I've had sex and it hasn't hurt. So my QUESTION is, I had been pregnant before, but the doctors didn't say anything about endo, so do I not have it? My mom thinks I have it, as well as I. I have a gyno appt soon.

I have 3 kids. I found out I have Endo after I gave birth to my 3rd child and I had my tubes tied. When I came out of surgery the doctor told me.

Endo can only be diagnosed surgically, so the doctor couldn't have diagnosed it during your pregnancy if you did not have surgery. It's definitely worth looking into, and I hope your appointment goes well. These symptoms are no fun! 💛

There really isn't a sure fire way to tell if you have endo without have a laparoscopy. But the symptoms sound like it is very possible

I'm extremely tired alllll the time. I have the worst headaches. I can't think straight or remember anything. And I have pains all month but they are horrible during my period. I have always had bad cramps but the pain I have now is like nothing I have ever felt before.
