Does Endometriosis Pain Increase Week By Week?
I haven't been formally diagnosed, but I have a 2cm endometria on my left ovary. I'm on continuous oral birth control (skipping the placebos and my cycle) so it can't be that
It gets worse each week in duration and intensity and has been this way since October. it started with some random spikes of pain at like a 5 but now is nearly constant at a 7.

Hey lovely,
It could be a few things.
If you’ve got an endometrioma, you’ve probably got stage 3 or 4 endo.
Mine got progressively worse too. When I had surgery they discovered that one of my cysts had ruptured, so that was probably causing more pain. It might be worth checking that out - if you’re in that much pain.
You could have adhesions that are thickening/tightening around your organs. This can cause pain, and that gets worse over time.
Also, if there are adhesions preventing your ovaries from moving, this can cause pain - especially on the right side - when your ovaries try to move. Are you booked in for surgery soon?
