I’m off all hormonal birth control and I’ve gained 30lb the last two years. I want to say the main contributors are being less active & also a hormone imbalance? Ugh

Has Anyone Else Experienced Excessive Vomiting/heaving With Their Endo?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I’ve had to go to the ER twice this year because my nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain were so severe. Both times I had super high WBC and free fluid in my pelvis. Does avoiding certain foods/drinks prevent this? It’s also a possibility my intestines are attached to my bowels. Please help!!

Has Anyone With Radical Autoimmune Issues Tried An IUD?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I have horrific autoimmune issues with my thyroid, endometriosis, and likely adenomyosis. I already have daily cramps, abnirmal bleeding, and a fever 4 days out of the week. Plus, 90% of my hair has fallen out. I'm in the ER almost monthly with awful pelvic and abdominal pain. I think an IUD could come near to quite literally killing me.

Girl! Don't worry about sex. If he truly loves you, he would understand how you feel and focus on that. You would know him when he puts priorities in order! Have him go with you to appointments so… read more
