Skip to main content From the age of 13 I suffered painful periods and then at 14 I had an ovarian cyst that had ruptured on my ovary and had to get a laparoscopy but there was no suspicion of endometriosis at all when that happened.
Through the age of 14 I was in and out of hospitals, always getting told it was normal ovulation pains and it happens to all girls. I was being put on really high doses of morphine and clonidine but nothing was helping the pain. The doctors always discharged me whilst still in pain saying I was okay to go home even though I was still in pain.
I went to a gynaecologist and got put on a contraceptive pill that seemed to make things worse. I'm now 15 and still suffering with people around me acting like I'm crazy when I say I’m in pain or telling me it’s just a bad period but I know my body and I know that it’s not just a period.
