Endo often involves the uterosacral ligaments which attach on the sacral area of the back and to the sides of the uterus not far above the cervix. These ligaments were resected in December along with endo on the left iliac artery. I remain on natural progesterone by troche with dose individualized along with estrogen and testosterone. But I'm menopausal without uterus or ovaries/tubes. But like many women, I have pelvic adhesive disease along with Stage 4 endometriosis.

Yeah. I have also been really easily upset an cry over nothing. Put on weight. Very low self esteem and still have terrible back pain constantly. Along with no appetite an unable to sleep. They're a nightmare .. just dreading what it will be like when i stop them though. Xxx
