I recently had surgery to remove a large endometrioma cyst, ovary and tube. The surgeon also removed (via lap excision) endo throughout pelvic region and an attachment to bowel. Doctor is suggesting aggressive treatment to prevent it from coming back. He suggested Lupron and Letrozole, which I refused due to side effects. Mirena IUD also an option but I really don't want an IUD.

We settled on lo lo estrin, but want to do research before even starting this. I feel a non estrogen pill would have… read more

I have been on Lo Loestrin Fe since March. First 3 months my period was crazy, but the last 3 months I haven't had a period at all. I can't be pregnant for my Fallopian tubes have been removed.

I had a terrible experience with Sprintec and switched to lo loestrin fe and it has been better but I'm still having fairly bad side effects and am trying to look at all my options.

Hi Everyone, I am new here. I found out I had endometriosis when they ran a test during my fibroid removal surgery in March. My OBGYN suggested Lo Loestrin because before my period I get really bad fatigue which makes working difficult. I also have super heavy periods and I always have to be near a bathroom which also makes working difficult.

Im going to college in a few months and im scared that endo will hold me back,any suggestions or advice on how to manage endo at school?

Hi everyone! I had a laparoscopy on May 19th that confirmed what I already suspected: I have stage 1 endo. A week after the surgery, I got my period and it lasted 7 days.

I went to two gynecologists (one who did the surgery and a new one who supposedly specializes in endo) and both said that this sometimes happens to patients after their surgery. It's been a few weeks since… read more

I just want to know what type of heat pad does everyone like l. I am attached to my heat pad, but keep buying a new one every 6 months. And the ones from walmart and drug stores are super cheap.

I’ve read some not so good reviews with this birth control but this is what my doctor wants me to get on. Does anyone have any experience with this BC

I've used an electric and microwave heating pad extensively to deal with endometriosis pain in my low back. Now the skin in that area is darker and blotchy. Is this something to be concerned about?

I am currently taking Diane 35 which seems to work well for my endometriosis but has caused a lot of fluid retention and bloating. I have also had issues with my breasts increasing by at least a whole cup size. It is getting really frustrating and uncomfortable. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
