I tried 3 IUDs and my body rejected all 3; then tried Norethrindrone and I hated it . My weight changed for the worse and it effected my mood. So I stopped . My doc told me about a newer pill called Slynd . Wondering if anyone else has had experience with this ?

Hi ladies. I hope that you're all coping well with your endo & that you're feeling peaceful (although probably unlikely). I'm wondering, I have a Youtube channel & am wanting to put up a video about what endo is & to share my journey with endo (to promote awareness of this condition, as well as to get us talking & sharing). What I'd like to know is if any of you would happen to have any advice or interesting tips that I could include in the video for those who may be watching? This could… read more

I've been trying to find alternatives for foods that usually have dairy or gluten in them. My body doesn't do well with rice and starchy vegetables either, so most alternatives aren't much better. I've found some alternatives that only have soy in it, which I know increases estrogen levels. But since I'm on hormones, my estrogen levels are quite low. Does anyone know if, in this situation, soy still has a bad influence on endometriosis
I've been trying to build some muscle, but it's pretty… read more
