What Is A Good Iron Supplement?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Franklin Square, NY

Hi, ladies
So my doctor recently told me that I am officially becoming borderline anemic with how much blood I am losing every month. She put me on the brand Thorne but it made me breakout in itchy hives. Have any of you tried a different iron supplement that you liked/worked well?

Thanks in advance!

I didn’t like how iron supplements felt either. I prefer eating grass fed beef liver as it is high in iron and has cofactors and other nutrients. If you can handle the flavor it’s great!

What Was Endo Surgery Like And The Recovery Process?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pittsburgh, PA

Finally got diagnosed the end of last year with endometriosis. I also have interstitial cystitis (pelvic pain syndrome) and pelvic floor dysfunction.

Just Got Scheduled For My Laparoscopy (yay!) But It’s Two Weeks Before My Bridal Shower (yikes). Am I Going To Be Fully Recovered By Then?

Don't do any heavy lifting. The general anesthesia takes about a week or 2 to make you feel less like a zombie tires and achy feeling. Think flu symptoms don't over do it.

Surgery Photos Included! Struggling To Understand Photos

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi All,

I have just received my laparoscopy pictures from when i was diagnosed with endometriosis. I am struggling to see where the endo is as the photos are so dark and blurry. Has anyone else had this problem? Or is anyone able to see anything in my photos?

Thanks🫶🏻
