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 ?
You're most welcome. Incidentally, I'm not sure where you are in your endo journey. Birth control can help, but really they just mask symptoms. It's important that your doctor tell you that it doesn't… read more
I'm 20 years old and only started having severe pelvic pain and digestive issues at the very beginning of 2023. I have seen a ton of different doctors over the course of five months and was told absolutely nothing about my condition. I've had two ultrasounds so far and have one coming up. My most recent doctor suspected I have endometriosis based on all of my symptoms but when I have questions I'm only given vague responses or the "it could be" answer. I'm really tired of not getting the… read more
You definitely have to advocate for yourself...and, sadly, often bring someone else to testify on your behalf that a) you're not crazy and it's not "just in your head" and b) that you're not… read more
I have almost every symptom of endometriosis. Painful cramps (on and off my period) since before I even started my period at age 11. When I was younger I went to a couple different doctors and they tried to downplay my pain and told me it’s normal and I need to get used to it. I only had one doctor that did diagnose me with PCOS based on hormone levels but never did any imaging. As an adult I have gone to two different Gynos and one told me I “probably” have it and did a vaginal ultrasound. He… read more

Does anyone else have problems with endo & urine leakage? I find myself leaking wee a lot. Currently waiting on next surgery for extensive endo
I have bladder issues and I have use bladder underwear and underpad on the bed
Hiya,
Could you please give me your honest advice/thoughts? Currently at the end of my tether and don't know who else to turn to.
Since I was 14 (now almost 26) I have seen various different doctors and a gynaecologist being told all sorts of different things but all of them have said they suspect I have endometriosis. With my current doctor she is the best one I have seen to date and is really clued up on the disease and says she is 100% sure I have it and all my symptoms match, there's… read more
Thanks ladies for your help. I have an appointment on Saturday morning with a different doctor and I'm going to request a referral to a gynae.
I had my second laparoscopy last Thursday, was told there was no endometriosis, no adhesions... Nothing to cause my constant pain basically. I had the same laparoscopy in 2014 and there were adhesions on my bowel with no explanation as to why, apart from a gynaecologist who told me I was constipated! (I might add he has since 'left' the trust after numerous complaints)
If I don't have endometriosis then I am happy with that, but what I'm not happy with if still having no reason for the pain… read more
Oh that's awful!! I hope you're coping now and getting the help of a good doctor! You've given me some hope, I'm not going to let them brush me off again!
My doctor put on my form that I only need to take one day off for the surgery and then the next day from work. Does that seem right?? I know I shouldn’t believe everything I read on the Internet or see on TikTok, but so many people have said that it took them at least a week to start moving around normally again.
I was doing pretty well after surgery, walking, eating etc, but you can’t lift anything and have to limit what you do. I would definitely take more than a day but every person is different. I had a… read more
Good morning!!!! I had the lap surgery Thursday night... And I am having this severe throbbing pain when I stand right around my belly button area. And I can't breathe in or out because it hurts that area. Just want to check if that happened to anyone else? Or if anyone had it really swollen around that area?
So nervous lol
I was told part of my lung collapsed following laparoscopy and not being able to breathe in fully. Please get checked out.
I was supposedly diagnosed with endometriosis last week after suffering from painful pelvic pain, painful intercourse, and problems with my bowels amongst other issues. There was no mention of a laparoscopy but to just go on birth control. I am not a fan of both control and want to be certain that it is endometriosis. I want to push for a laparoscopy. Anyone have advice on this? Thanks!
My doc said I could try bc pills to see if it would help but since I want to try having kids in the next year or so , that after my MRI , surgery will prob be the way to go
