Hi Ladies,
I am so happy I found this community. I have read so many of your posts and I wish none of you/us had to go through this, but thank you so much for sharing, it really helps!

I went to DR. Tamer Seckin in New York. It's one week after and I feel great and my incisions are super small. Healing well.
My doctor told me that birth control makes endometriosis spread. It does not help. I don’t know if what i did was the answer because it was only three weeks ago, but i had a total , open hysterectomy. One ovary was destroyed by endo and the right one was saved to keep me from going through menopause.
Same exact situation, I hate birth control for all of those reasons. I too have a ruptured cyst on my right side that landed me in the ER and now my left one is bothering me.
The only option my physician is giving me is a hysterectomy/Oophorectomy on the right side and clean up the endo. Although I am not a big fan of surgery, the pain is not tolerable and is debilitating at times. It's not normal to live like this so I am open to doing anything that will help and pray it works!
