I have an abortion in aug 2009. thats my first pregnancy. and i didnt get periods for 4months. then i got a loop by a doctor because my endometic layer size is very thin. i used some pills of estrogen and progesterone for 4 months. now iam getting periods for 36 days cycle. i am continuing my loop now also. i am planning to remove my loop in aug 2012. is there any problem by continuing this loop for the next year also. i am planning to get pregnant in the next year itself. and its not possible to remove my loop in this year because i am in abroad now. suggest me, there is any problem to get pregnant and in my health as well as my child's health. is there any food to improve my health and periods cycle. suggest me please. but its not possible to come to india and remove the loop in this year. so i am planning to next year. suggest me please please. i think you can understand my problem and give better suggestion for me. many many thanks in advance.

Endometriosis is one of the most difficult condtions. It often mimics other condtions and sometimes it is difficult to differntiate from cancer. The surgery of the condition is also difficult.

I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago and thats when my OBGYN found my endimetriosis and it has attached to my bowel and cannot be removed because it has hardened i also didnt know that it can still spread to any organ i am also at high risk for lupus, arthritis, and other stuff the only person i can talk to about it is my husband he is my rock i dont know what i'd do without him. Is there anyone I can talk to to help ease the worry of the things that i am high risk for. Thank you for letting me send a comment.

A very informative site. I particulary liked that you have been able to compile information like support groups in the world. I wish to know if there is a support group for Endometriosis available in India.
