If so, do you think 1 condition can flare up the other and ideas of causes and/or best ways to manage flare-ups and symptoms?
I have both. And yes I do believe the flare ups overlap/combine.
I just had sex for the third time ever but for the second and third time, I felt a sharp pain shoot from my butt and lower back. I didn’t feel the pain in my lower abdomen though. The pain was worse off when doing the doggy style. Is this normal during the first times you have sex or I actually have endometriosis.
I have had a laparoscopy and I feel the same way. Doggy Style is a hell no because it hurts so badly. The only way I can do it without pain is on my back and I have to take it slow at first no matter… read more
i’ve been taking Visanne for like 6-7months already and i told my doctor that i wanted to stop cuz im having vaginal dryness and low libido and its kinda make me depress. I decided to stop after end of this month but like recently i got my libido back. and surprisingly the vaginal dryness isn’t that bad anymore! and i haven’t got my period in like 4 months but now i got a little bit of spotting out of no where. Is it something to worry abt??
Visanne actually works like that. While you are on medication you will get less or no period. Once you are off the medication you will get your period after like 10-15 days so I don't think there is… read more

Hello Ladies
I am currently a stage 4 endo sufferer who has had more than her share of surgeries (including partial hysterectomy, appendectomy, ovary removal, etc. all for endo). My current situation is I am not on meds since we have not been able to find one best for my situation. My left ovary has a 3.5 cm endometrioma we are monitoring. Luckily it is growing slowly.
