Im thinking about starting GnHR next month.that was some advice i got of a private specialist
Will that make your body believe that you are in pre menopause?
Thank god your procedure went well. Amen 🙏
I'm specifically asking women who still have their ovaries and are premonopause are not on any hormone inhibitors (like Lupron). It is so weird to me because it starting showing in my bloodwork after excision surgery and my hysterectomy (complete, not radical) that I have low estrogen levels. I figured it was my body adjusting to the excising of the endometriomas as well as maybe the removal of my tubes, but the low estrogen has continued to stay abnormally low and I am definitely experiencing… read more
Surgeries can cause that to happen,even if not removed.
I can count on one hand the times that me and my boyfriend have had sex in the last year- sad I know
I just had excision surgery back in May and of course I'm terrified of getting back on the horse... seemed like an appropriate analogy. We have tried once since my surgery after waiting long enough and it still hurt but at the time I wasn't on any type of birth control so we had to use a condom and my fun parts have never agreed with most types. I'm thinking that was the main problem (more like… read more
Sorry to hear about your situation with your partner. My ex-husband is understanding of my condition and he is still supportive even though we didn't have sex. I believe education for men and eveyone… read more
New here but sadly not to endometriosis. Obviously I live with the burden of this disease running my life and marriage so after a year of being told I need a hysterectomy I have scheduled it. The Dr is saying 6 weeks for healing. We are doing laparoscopic with the possibility of abdominal removal as I have Stage 4 and it is covering my bowels and possibly reached my bladder. Any of you who have had a hysterectomy please tell me how long did it take until you could move around at least for an… read more
I had a hysterectomy in June of 2022 and honestly I don’t recall the specifics of when exactly I was able to move around, but I do remember I used my mom’s walker the first month and then as I was… read more
So, last week (almost exactly 1 full week ago), I had a full hysterectomy, endometriosis excision, and removal of cysts. I have endo and highly suspected adenomyoisis as well.
I have never really been interested in sex. I've considered myself asexual because it just isn't something I think about and I don't feel sexually attracted to others. However, for the last three days, I have been having a lot of weird, vivid sexual dreams. Like, a LOT. Sometimes I'll have 1 or 2 days during my cycle when… read more
I hope that you feel better.
Earlier i got really stressed out,then got a increase of pain straight away and it seems to slowly but surely be getting worse and worse.is it just in my inagination?
Thank you for your reply.i get stressed so easily when im having my bad days x
Im have the GnRH injection it works as a chemical hysterectomy so i will get menapausal symotoms.
Any adice will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance xxx
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member I haven't had a hysterectomy and went through menopause naturally although I have no idea when. When I had excision, I told Dr. Arrington I wasn't ready to give up my… read more
Hi everyone! I am 25 and have learnt i have endometrioma in my left ovarian (4cm) and high CA125 level, my doctor wants me on Visanne. I have read so many side effects and therefore i couldnt dare taking Visanne.. I am on Yasmin contraceptive pill instead. My mother told me she also had endometriosis when she was few years older than me and even with endometrioma in one ovarian, she could get pregnant and give birth to my sister.. Could you share with me if you have similar experiences… read more
I've been on visanne for 6months. Almost 4months having this spot/slight bleeding. The next day right after finishing 6months taking visanne i got slight period. I dont know if it is normal. My endo… read more
As things have progressed, I find myself wondering what is “normal.” This might be TMI but does anyone else get vaginal bleeding/spotting outside of their period when trying for a bowel movement? I know it’s vaginal. I had it earlier on but it seems to just be worse and worse. Thanks ladies.
I know this was a while ago but I’m wondering if you were able to find out what was going on? I have similar symptoms of vaginal bleeding after I eat certain foods (inflammatory I’m guessing) and… read more
