Weight Frustrations
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Please help! I am at my witts end w my weight situation. I have gained 40lbs in the last 5 years since I started battling endo
I watch what I eat (no sugar, or flour, and I’m counting calories again 🤦🏻‍♀️), I drink nothing but water; I’m an active person. I’ve done running, lifting, HIIT, T25, some stretching and NOTHING seems to help. I will lose 2-3lbs and then just like that they are back again, and to boot I have this awful mommy pooch I’ve developed that I’ve never had before! It just… read more

Thanks! Yes, I follow an anti-inflammatory diet as well just to try and prevent any further pain/discomfort. I had a nutrionist once before but they were not familiar with hormonal issues and… read more

Bleeding After Climax
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone experience bleeding after climax? This is not just related to penetration, and after I have thick clots for about 12 hours. This happens every time, even if it's a few times a week. Should I see my specialist or is this a 'normal' endo symptom?
Appointments are very expensive so would love any advice if this has happened to someone else.

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

It has stopped my periods too, Dr just say not to rely on it as a contraceptive. It’s a small chance, but enough they have to warn you. But if you’re ok with the remote chance of getting pregnant then… read more

Hysterectomy
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

So my Endo is growing back because I cannot take my birth control. It caused a blood clot in my leg and pulmonary embolisms in my lung. Today is six months from my pe and DVT. Anyone have suggestions for endovrelief?!

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member I am a DVT survivor, I got diagnosed with endo recently and I will have to have a lap soon because of a cyst.
I am wondering what your doctors suggested.

Is Anyone Suffering From Bad Depression From Hormone Treatment?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been on hormones to stop periods and attempt to get rid of most of the pain from Endometriosis and PCOS. Although it has helped the pain substantially I have never felt more depressed in my life. When I say I cry everyday, I mean everyday. I go from a major high to an all time low, then get angry! 😢It's really starting to affect my relationship. Am thinking about coming off them and back on pain management but am terrified that I will then loose my job, the one thing that makes me get up… read more

Pregnancy With Endometriosis After Depo Provera?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi all :)
I’m new to this page but my wife & I are ready to have a baby after 10 years. I have always had severe endo pain which can cause me to get lightheaded, pass out for a few min and vomit. Because of this I went on Depo Provera as it was affecting my daily life. I just got off of the shot after 6 years (nervous for the pain to creep back in but I want a baby so bad I’m willing to do anything) and my questions are:

Have any of you taken Depo Provera and gotten pregnant after? If so, how… read more

Endometriosis, Mirena, Age And Fertility

Hi there,

Does anyone have clear numbers on how endo affects when you should start trying to have a baby? what about IUD + endo + age?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

I know that everyone’s experience is different, but I also know that if you want to have children, and you can afford it, you might want to look into freezing your eggs (although the hormones you have… read more
