I'm waiting for surgery. I had my pre-op recently, so just waiting for a date now. My periods are getting more brutal by the month, and I'm generally feeling worse by the week.

I usually ovulate exactly a week after the first date of my period. The ovulation pain has started to be worse than the period pain. I've got two large bilateral endometriomas, as well as a lot of other stuff going on. So I know there's a lot going on inside me and that this is all normal (whatever normal is anymore) but I'm just so drained.

I've had the stabbing, twisting, shooting pains for days now. I'm bleeding still, lightly then heavily. I've got the cramps, nausea and exhaustion, as well as an upset stomach. I'm just feeling so low and done. I know it will pass, but it feels neverending. And in a matter of days I'll start my two week build up to my period again. There really is no break from any of this.

I can't sit comfortably, I can't sleep comfortably, walking around my legs lock and I have to drag my leg sometimes, depending on where in my cycle I am. I've got a good idea of why this is happening, but I've not been opened up yet, so there's nothing official and on any medical records, so my GP can't really do much. I feel like I'm constantly going in circles trying to get any help while I wait for surgery.

I know there is bowel involvement. The MRI showed some involvement, and I know it's getting worse. I have gone from feeling hopeful about the surgery, to starting to feel like even after surgery this is how it's going to be forever. I just feel so sad and stuck.
