Does Anyone Have Both Tachycardia & Endo?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was set to have my next lap in a few days, but they have now postponed due to tachycardia. I've been tachycardic before, and all bloods have shown no reason why (e.g. Not thyroid related). A quick google suggested there could be a link between endo & tachy, was wondering if anyone here had any experience with this too?

Stage 1 Endometriosis
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Are there any women who have/had stage 1 endo with a very small amount of endo but still had a lot of pain? And did it go away after a lap?
I had my lap 2 days ago and they removed 5 pinheads of endo (so small that it couldn't been seen on an ultrasound and a MRI) from my abdomen and the doc couldn't asure me if it would cease my pain.....

I Am Worried About Pain In My Right Side That Flares Up For A Month Or More Now.
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve been thinking that I have to get Laparoscopic surgery and maybe excision because for most of my life I just had pain during my period ( as far as I could tell although I’ve had bad digestive issues my whole life which now I know is related ) but as of this year, pains in my left side have started that effect my foot and eye and lower back on the left side. The pain comes and goes but lasts a month or more now. Does this kind of progression happen to most women with Endo? I’ve always been… read more

Is It Possible For Endo To Come Back 6 Months After A Laparoscopy?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had my first diagnostic laparoscopy March 2016 which gave me pain relief for about 2 months. I have tried many different hormonal suppression therapies since surgery. Depo x2 months, then aygestin + femara, then aygestin + lupron.. now OCPs .. possible Mirena IUD to come soon. The pain comes and goes as well as menses. Despite all of those therapies, is it still possible for endo to come back so quickly? ...With vengeance?!

I have had four lap surgeries in six years (including partial hysterectomy and later ovary removal and appendectomy related to endo) and each time it comes back. Each time I would have maybe three… read more

Aygestin Causing Bleeding After Intercourse
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

It’s been 4 months since my laparoscopy. My doctor put me on Aygestin (norethindrone). I’ve started to notice that bleed every time after sex. I assure you we are not being aggressive at all and have used plenty of lubrication. My boyfriend and I have been taking is very VERY easy and yet I still bleed afterwards. Is this a common side effect? I do have a GYN appointment coming up so I will be bringing this to her attention.

I've been on many med treatments and no matter what I've been on I bleed after sex. I think it's the endo, not the meds as others are saying. Unfortunately I think that's one of the endo symptoms.

Frozen Pelvis And Lupron
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm a 39 year mom of 3. I had laparoscopic surgery on June 6th to remove a cyst on my right ovary. Doctor was surprised to find out I had endometriosis and the cyst was an endomentrioma. He says I have a "frozen pelvis" and would like me to go on 6 months of Lupron. Although I have no symptoms of endometriosis? He says if I need surgery again I can not have laparoscopic that I would need full abdominal surgery. Since the cyst was removed my periods seem better not as crampy. But my cramps… read more
