Fibroids, Endometriosis, or nothing?

I gave birth to my first child 11 months ago. I bled heavily for 13 weeks and had an ultrasound where I was told everything was normal. I went on with intermittent bleeding and blood clots with and in between periods and pelvic pain until 8 months postpartum.

I then went in and had a D&C because I couldn't take it anymore. Turns out I had left over placenta that had crystallized and I had fibroids. All was removed.

Although I don't bleed in between periods now, I have very heavy periods with small blood clots and pink mucous. I also have bladder/vaginal, bladder, and some rectal pain all the time.

Is this endometriosis? Should I get a laparoscopy? I'm lost and doctors are not helping.

If you are in pain I would seek out an Endometriosis specialist as it could have something to do with that. I would also look up Adenomyosis. Did your ultrasound say anything about the size of the uterus not being normal size? This also causes heavy bleeding and clots and can come hand in hand with Endometriosis and/or Fibroids.

I can direct you to a specialist. Message me and let me know where you live around and I can give you a name of a couple of good ones in your area.

Thanks so much for responding.
They told me at my first ultrasound that my endometrium was thicker than normal but we're not worried and said it would normalize.
But then I thought about it because, I went back after the D&C and they told me the same thing... But nothing about the uterus as far as I am aware.
Message me your location and I can help you out
