Has Anyone With Endo Had The Covid 19 Vaccine ?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Do you deem it safe to do the Covid 19 vaccine ? Or will this have any impact on the endometriosis?

Got 2 doses of Pfizer and no issues, just delayed ovulation after the 2nd one which seems fairly common on my fertility app (depending what time of your cycle you get the dose) 🙂

How Long Does It Take To Adjust To A Mirena?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I've had it 4 months. I have an appt on Thursday. My doc wanted me to wait 3-6 months to give it a chance. I'm getting more new symptoms. I'm in pain every day. I feel like my insides and expanding and stretching apart. I currently don't get prescribed any pain meds. I can get through work and that's about it.

This is kind of my last stop. I can't have estrogen based BC due to risk of stroke. I've tried every progesterone based option except the implant, which seems pointless to me since all… read more

Honestly it took 6 months for me to finally get relief the first time I got mine. I have endometriosis and adenomyosis. It may work for you at that time or it may not be the thing for you. If you are… read more

Anyone On Visanne Having Unbearable Pain?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I have been on Visanne 2mg for 6 weeks. The spotting/light bleeding started 10 days after I was on the pill, and until today, the bleeding never stopped. It got a bit heavier starting at week 5: bright red blood with some small clots, but much less bleeding than a regular period. From time to time, I got cramps and I took an Advil, then I can carry on without any problem. But for the last 3-4 days, my pain is getting much much worse. At 2AM I woke up by some very sharp spasms in my tail bone… read more

I would definitely have a second opinion as visanne can actually cause cysts (or so it says in the manual). A laparoscopy would be good to at least diagnose you properly with endo. Maybe you have… read more

Is There Anyone Who Can Share Their Experience Of Their First Period After Laparoscopy To Remove Their Endometriosis?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

So I have a few days left on my pill and had surgery a week and a half ago. Yesterday I started bleeding heavier and having some pretty intense cramps, which could also be being a bit off about taking my birth control since I’m not having the best time recovering from surgery. I decided to just let myself have my period, I’m on seasonique so it’s been a while anyway and I figured my body could use it. I’m still in a good amount of pain and I have a pretty high pain tolerance so it’s been rough… read more

Yeah my doctor had me continue my pill normally. I ended up just letting myself have a period this week since it was almost time anyway. I started a new pack yesterday and will go for my post op… read more

Start Progesterone Only Pill Right After Laparoscopy?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Just had my laparoscopy done 2 days ago and the doctor wants me to start to take progesterone only pill for 8 weeks continuously until I see him. I had spotting after I started the 1st pill last night. I don't really know the bleeding is from the laparoscopy or the pill....anyone has similar experience to share?

I took progesterone after my surgery but it was due to hot flashes I experienced from also being on Lupron. I’d say your bleeding is probably due to the surgery, I experienced it. If you’re worried… read more

Advice On Issues With Birth Control For Period Pain
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to deal with the side effect of birth control. i have been place on several different types of pill ( both combine and progesterone only), to help with suspected endometriosis. None of the birth control pills i have tired seem to be helping improve the pain and other symptoms that come long with my period. my period have just become way more frequent to the point where i am having them every other week. Discussed my concerns over this… read more

Had Laparoscopy Endometriosis Last Year And Been Getting Sciatic Pain For 4 Years
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I've had sciatica pain and foot pain for about 4 years. I have told my doctor who did my 2 surgeries and he said it could be the endometriosis, but when he did the laparoscopy, he didnt see anything in the abdomen that was pressuring any nerves. I do have a mesh in my lower back and abdomen so that way the endo doesnt grow. I have tried all sorts of physical therapy, bought new shoes
/insoles, and nothing has worked. I get tingling on both my legs from my lower back/glutes and I get… read more

I had sciatica for several years but it turned out it originated in the glutes-- the only thing that helped me was trigger point acupuncture (with an excellent acupuncturist-- Colleen Canyon-- it is… read more

Has Anyone Ever Tried The Newest Mini Pill, Slynd ?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I tried 3 IUDs and my body rejected all 3; then tried Norethrindrone and I hated it . My weight changed for the worse and it effected my mood. So I stopped . My doc told me about a newer pill called Slynd . Wondering if anyone else has had experience with this ?

You're most welcome. Incidentally, I'm not sure where you are in your endo journey. Birth control can help, but really they just mask symptoms. It's important that your doctor tell you that it doesn't… read more
