Is it not that when you suffer from infertility that you or your partner are experiencing some medical condition to prevent you from falling pregnant, with it is unknown or known... and yet we are not covered, why not? I can understand if the medical aid covers are afraid we'd exhaust the funds, however why not limit it to 3 cycles every 5 years? It's treated as we cosmetically want to enhance our body, when all we want is a baby? People with other chronic illness are covered why is… read more

I went to a Herbalist today to inquire about my periods in hope that somebody could give me an answer, I gave her just a few of the long list of symptoms haha and straight away she told me to consider Endometriosis
I was gobsmacked, no one has ever put all of my symptoms together like that, I've always thought I had it but for her to confirm it without me even hinting was like a weight has been lifted
Finally someone is listening and has some sort of answer! Not that I would want this but… read more

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 ?

No doctor will test me to see what stage I am at. I'm worried that I am not going to find a doctor that will listen to me. Any tips on finding a doctor that will listen to me?

I am 31 suffering endometriosis for awhile. I am so sick of the pain that I go through every day. My boyfriend doesn't even understand at all how I feel which makes it even harder. I was thinking about talking to my endo specialist about moving with a partial hysterectomy. Is it a good idea to take that next step?

I'm 17 years old right now and have been dealing with chronic pain(abdominal and migraines) since I was 12. It started with dually migraines and then went into daily nausea. I went to every odctot possible and they couldnt figure out what it was. I have been in the ER too often to count. It went over too extreme abdominal pain more in the upper area and then in the lower area also. I was checked for gallstones through ultrasound and blood tests.

I have felt bumps on my cervix for the last month. If irritated they bleed. There are many (more than 6). I went to primary as my gyno was very booked and she did a Pap smear and sent me to another gyno to be seen immediately. He said that it was probably cysts, but he should know by visualizing. Then all he said after exam was to wait for the results. I am so nervous.

Have you experienced anything like this?
