I have been reading about this too since we are trying to conceive. I hope pregnancy brings some relief to your pain, do take care of yourself.

Well, pregnancy definitely gives you a 9-month holiday from those horrible periods, so that's a temporary win! But honestly, it doesn't completely vanish like magic, though many moms say the pain reduces after delivery.

My MIL always says that having a baby changes a woman's body completely and cures many old pains. While it might not go away 100%, many women do feel a lot of relief after delivery. Keep discussing with your doctor during your checkups.

Endometriosis pain is no joke, and dealing with that along with early pregnancy nausea must be so tough. Sometimes the hormones during pregnancy help suppress it temporarily, but it doesn't always go away forever. Take it easy and talk to your doc about what to expect later.

I have heard it can get much better after baby! Right now I'm just focusing on my pregnancy cravings and enjoying no periods. But definitely keep a check with your gynac on how to manage it postpartum.

I am currently 22 weeks pregnant and also have endometriosis. I'm actually wondering the same thing! Will the pain return once my periods start again after delivery?
