Yep. Not so much as an adult, but as a teenager I did -- hard track workouts would have me in serious pain and my periods used to be a major hemorrhage-fest. I was diagnosed with stage II endometriosis and adenomyosis when I was about 30, but have had the symptoms since my very first period at 12. I had thermal ablation and laparoscopy at the time I was diagnosed...has helped a lot. Now I just have stupid short cycles and sometimes will have bowel pain and bleeding at certain times in my cycle (I had endo adhesions on my bowels, bladder, and covering my c-section scar from my kiddo). I'm now 40 and really looking forward to menopause.

Oral contraceptives have helped in the past...anything to keep ovaries from ovulating.
