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.

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.

Visanne - A Contraceptive?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi ladies,
I would like to know if any of you have used visanne with no contraceptive method.
The timing is not right for me to have a kid now. Both my gynecologists said it can be used without condomns as a contraceptive but I called the lab which said it hasn’t been tested as a contraceptive so they can’t advice to do so.
So I would rather have first hand experience from women who have used visanne with or without non hormonal contraceptives.
Thanks a mill

I was on Visanne for 3 months and i didn't have any protection exept my partner partner took his 'prince' out before orgasm.

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
