How is it that my sister and i both got messed up reproductive systems? It's weird how that happened

Both have fibroids, both struggle with endometriosis. Hers is worse than mine though she also has issues with her ovaries getting cysts. It's just weird how we both have messed up systems. No idea how or why but we do

I have a sister, she's younger.....she doesn't have endometriosis but, I do. I had to have an ovary removed due to it.....plus I have fibroids.....I take birth control to manage the pain and periods each month. So, I truly understand.

@SW-User i can feel my uterus enlarge itself and it's almost like there's a thick outline around it building up before that time of month. Makes my belly poof out below my belly button. Freaks me out.

@blackdiamonds Have you been to your gynecologist recently?? Maybe there is something causing it to swell that way.....

@blackdiamonds I'm checked once a year with a pap.....maybe getting an appointment and seeing if maybe a birth control pill might be able to help control the pain and bloating and such. It's helped me tremendously with the pain and everything in general.
