I'm wondering if I had endometriosis that went undiagnosed, or if other people have had the same period problems I used to have, without there being a problem.
After I had a baby, the symptoms eased up, but prior to that, I had very heavy periods.
I went through an ULTRA tampon every 30 mintues for at least 3 or 4 days of my period, and had to use super-plus the rest of the days. Periods were usually 7-8 days for me. The cramps were crippling. I literally couldnt move, eat, or talk, when they hit me, and pain killers didnt touch them.
Do those things mean there was something wrong with me? I never saw a doctor, just lived with it. Has anyone else had periods like that and been fine? I'm in my second pregnancy so it doesnt seem to have affected my fertility. But could there be some kind of problem that doctors have missed?

Yes, it's possible that this could still be endometriosis related. Sometimes endometriosis when it's there can be missed if the doctor doesn't have a lot of experience with looking for it.
I would recommend getting another opinion later down the road to see what that doctor (preferably someone that does not share the same office of the doctor that you currently see) thinks.

It sure sounds like it to me. You have all the syptoms. But its supposed to be very difficult to fall pregnant if you have it. o 2 kids is a good thing. You will probably find after your second child things will be way better.
The only person who can tell you is a doctor, so you should find a specialist.
