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 experiencesā¦ read more

Hi ladies. I hope that you're all coping well with your endo & that you're feeling peaceful (although probably unlikely). I'm wondering, I have a Youtube channel & am wanting to put up a video about what endo is & to share my journey with endo (to promote awareness of this condition, as well as to get us talking & sharing). What I'd like to know is if any of you would happen to have any advice or interesting tips that I could include in the video for those who may be watching? This couldā¦ read more

I am 38 and have the worst of the worst symptoms, pain, heavy bleeding, depression ect. I just started the mini pill to help ease theses symptoms. I am missing work and life. Several yrs ago I tried it and bled and cramped for 2 months. I am desperate and trying it again. I have migraine with aura so I can't tolerate reg BC at all.
I'm on it for 2 weeks now. 37 myself. Desogestrel. It has made my thoracic symptoms worse. It stopped my period but in spotting now. Also feel very down. Lap will happen Nov 30th for me. I was hopingā¦ read more
My gynecologist told me that she is certain I have endometriosis as well as pcos, with all my symptoms fitting them perfectly. But she also informed me that it would require surgery to confirm it so that I can get the treatment needed. I canāt take time out of work or college to do the surgery and life is miserable living it in pain and sleeplessness all the time. Itās not just a matter of missing out on work or school, itās the money too. I canāt afford to be off more than a day, and Iāve beenā¦ read more
I can't answer why but I agree that it is ridiculous and unfair. I had the discovery surgery just to get told "yes you have it" and had to have the excision surgery 3 weeks later. Such a waste.
Does anyone else have problems with endo & urine leakage? I find myself leaking wee a lot. Currently waiting on next surgery for extensive endo
I have bladder issues and I have use bladder underwear and underpad on the bed
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 anā¦ read more
I had a hysterectomy in June of 2022 and honestly I donāt recall the specifics of when exactly I was able to move around, but I do remember I used my momās walker the first month and then as I wasā¦ read more
Hi, my name is Beth, Iām 25 and Iām on my journey to get diagnosed with endometriosis as my symptoms only seem to worse with age. Unfortunately I have come to a dead end and have decided to go private to get some answers. If anyone from the North East / Northumberland area has any recommendations I would be so grateful. Thank you.
Ahh yes I understand. at first when they told me my uterus ācanāt be savedā I thought well let me try that anti-inflammatory diet first. They were doing a study with anti- inflammatory diet andā¦ read more
I have 2 endometriomas on my left ovary. I was scheduled to have them removed next week but the hospital cancelled my surgery due to the guidelines for the Coronovirus right now. Since my surgery is postponed Iām taking this time to do a lot of research. Iām learning excision is the best method. Iām wondering how likely they are to return or for more to develop if Iām not on anything after the surgery? My doctor said if I donāt suppress the hormones it will grow back but I thought if they wereā¦ read more
Consider looking in different states, if you find one that takes insurance it might be more doable even with the cost of travel
