  More and more, the new obgyns are hearing us. Especially for the older generations who have been told " it's normal". I appreciate  this field  advancing. ❤

  I had a PCOS and endomitosis diagnosis. After my period never having regulated from the start, excruciating pain and fainting starting when I was about 16, I got the PCOS diagnosis when I was about 26 after a number of doctors blew me off. I had surgery for endometriosis when I was about 33. When I had a hysterectomy (kept my ovaries and cervix) I was 37 and my uterus was &quot;mushy&quot; as my doctor reported. That&apos;s how I learned about adenomyosis. When I worked at a call center and would be in so much pain I couldn&apos;t move and would pass out, the female ongyn told me she wouldn&apos;t help me with FMLA so I could leave work if it got too bad and not lose my job... She told me &quot;I&apos;m not getting you out of work for bad cramps&quot;. So many times I&apos;d take baths in the middle of the night because the pain was so bad, cry and consider calling 911.... My landlord wanted to increase my rent for water usage. <br><br>My biggest struggle was always being taken seriously about my health.

  <b>I have always thought it shocking that cramps/painful periods are considered &apos;normal&apos; &amp; a woman&apos;s &nbsp;&apos;cross to bear&apos;.</b> As a person who never experiences menstrual cramps during my cycle, I think that THIS is what we should strive for as normal. <b>It is unacceptable that women suffer this way.</b> THANK YOU for advocating for women. 💙💙

  I just got diagnosed with diffuse adenomyosis (and stage 3 endo) at age 31 during a laparoscopy to remove a 8cm ovarian cyst. I had my third baby 5 months ago and ever since I got my period back since having her my reproductive system has been making my life miserable.<br>In 4 months I’m getting endometriosis excision surgery and possibly hysterectomy.

  Joyful Day! I&apos;m so glad I came across your video. Adenomyosis definitely needs more attention, and educating women. I&apos;m having post menopausal spotting. One surgeon recommended D &amp; C, and the other hysterectomy. I chose D &amp; C. Thank you kindly for doing this video!!!!!

  My adenomyosis wasn&apos;t diagnosed until I had a hysterectomy in 2016 because my periods were so ridiculously heavy and the back pain was agonizing. My gynecologist came to me after the surgery and said I had the biggest, ugliest, lumpiest, uterus she&apos;s ever seen. My hysterectomy was one of the best things I&apos;ve ever done. <br><br>I suffered for almost 20 years before being diagnosed. I tried a copper iud 6 months after delivering my 2nd son, but I bled so incredibly heavy for every period for 3 months, I&apos;m talking having to put 2 overnight size pads on to cover from front to back waistband and having to go home from work because I was having to change them every 15-30 minutes. During my 3rd month ultrasound to check placement I was bleeding so heavily my doctor was shocked. The iud had shifted and I had to have it removed. I tried constant birth control and spotted for 10 months so, in my case, a hysterectomy at 35 was my only option. I was done having kids and I was done putting up with it.

  I am 47 years old. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis 6 years ago after suffering with severe cramping for several years. Oddly enough, i never had a single menstrual cramp until I had a miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy (twins, and apparently the fetus outside the uterus caused my body to miscarry the other.). After that, i started having cramps monthly and they, along with the bleeding, progressively got worse. Then i had a viable pregnancy and gave birth. After that everything got so much worse. IUD has helped a lot, but there are still cramps. Menopause is right around the corner though at this point 🤞

  I am having a hysterectomy (including ovaries taken) in two days. I &nbsp;was diagnosed through vaginal ultrasound. I am actually looking forward to this because the pain is horrible and have been menstruating for 5 months. I&apos;m exhausted and ready for a new chapter in my life.

  I had imaging done of my uterus somewhat recently and the radiologist&apos;s report said possible adenomyosis, recommend MRI to confirm. I asked two OGBYNs what that meant and why we werent doing the MRI and they said it didnt matter because the treatment options I was trying were going to be the same. OK, fine I&apos;ll accept that - but wouldnt it be a good idea to confirm diagnosis so it&apos;s a known entity in my chart? What if that knowledge is useful in the future? I dont know, personally I feel like it was dismissed, just like my symptoms have been for 20 freaking years.
