Have Any Of Yall Ever Taken Lexapro?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

I have been on it for maybe 2 weeks now. I feel good other than im tired ALL the time. But i cant figure out if its because i work night shift or not. Also havent had a solid bowel movement, they been very unpleasant instead. Would this be because of the lexapro?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

I go back to the doctor on the 19th but I dont want to come off it if these s/e go away. Maybe the tiredness is from switching to night shift šŸ˜¬. However the other is probably from the lexapro. I feelā€¦ read more

Visanne And Crippling Anxiety
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Question:

Iā€™ve been on Visanne for almost 2 months. The 1st month was fine but then I started getting crippling anxiety. My life is on hold as a result. How long should I wait before i judge Visanne?

Background info: I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and Iā€™ve been doing talk therapy before I started Visanne to prepare me. The first month the side effects were manageable and I was fine. Starting my second month, it has exasperated my anxiety. My anxiety is so bad that therapy and allā€¦ read more

Has Anyone Ever Had A Random Extreme Flare Up? Did It Cause Aching Over Your Whole Body Too?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

I woke up in the most excruciating pain in the middle of the night. Cramping like Iā€™ve never felt before. My whole body also feels soo achy. I do have fibromyalgia but Iā€™m wondering if anyone has experienced a random endo flare up that is just awful? I havenā€™t had one in probably years, since my lapro in 2019. Worried it came back and came back bad;(

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member. I also have fibromyalgia which sometimes itā€™s hard to tell if the pain is fibromyalgia or endometriosis. I do get bad flares with my whole body in pain. I even wake upā€¦ read more

Laproscopy?

Just curious as to the pain level and experience with, doing lapro. Both the confirmation with the camera and the surgery

Depends on your end game, level of current pain, and if it comes back. I think it was worth it, but for me, without hormone control it comes back quick. Make sure you have a good doctor because thatā€¦ read more

Depression/Anxiety On Visanne
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Hi Ladies,

Quick question, I've been on a few different contraceptive pills over the years and after my Lap this year my surgeon put me on Visanne.

I immediately began to get suicidal thoughts and went to my GP and went off it as soon as I noticed these thoughts starting to appear and I went back to feeling fine. Recently the pill I was on began giving me really awful headaches so my surgeon suggested trying visanne with a hormone patch for three weeks to slowly transition from a combinedā€¦ read more

Should I Continue To Take Lupron If I Still Have Constant Pain Everyday?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

I continued to have constant pain after having Laproscopy in January. The pain may not be AS bad as before the surgery, but now I have new pain that I didn't have before. My doctor suggested take Lupron Depot since I was still experiencing pain. I took the 3 month dose in August and I'm still having constant pain daily. I'm scheduled to take another 3 month dose in a couple of weeks. Advise, please, ladies; should I take another shot of Lupron even though I'm still in pain??

NO Feeling From Foreplay?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Due to a fuckup on their end with scheduling, I can't resume pelvic floor PT for weeks, so I can't even ask my dr this question.

My bf came over for my birthday and spent a couple nights. Both, we got "busy". But, I felt next to nothing. Usually, I am extremely sensitive and get turned on super easily, but it took him absolutely forever to orgasm the first night, and the second took almost as long because I wasn't feeling a single thing from foreplay. For months now my sensation has beenā€¦ read more

Excruciating Pain Two Months After Lap?! Help!
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

I feel like Iā€™m constantly in the ā€œsqueezeā€ part of a Kegel, what do I do?! If I ā€œreleaseā€ it hurts so bad! šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ it used to not be like this until after my lap/d&c/ablation on 8/30/19. I went back to my surgeon after spending the weekend in the hospital on 9/29/19 and he was completely dismissive. Originally suggested that it was my body ā€œadjusting to not being on opioids,ā€ I called him on that bullshit because it had been a month since surgery and I had been prescribed a total of 26 Percocet inā€¦ read more

Undiagnosed Endo?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Heyya, so Endo runs in our family, over the last 6 years I have constantly been in and out of hospital trying to diagnose it
I'm on the pill 24/7 to have no periods but I still get the pain, which sky rockets every three to six months. I've had two laperoscopies, doctors have said I don't have Endo, just a tilted uterus and a small blood clot and fluid in my fallopian tubes...but that doesn't explain the regular pain, the heavy pressure in my uterus, the bloating and all the other symptoms,ā€¦ read more

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member I'm so happy I could help. Your pain is real and you deserve to feel better. I hope you finally get a diagnosis. Have a great day too !

Anyone Had Trouble Getting Pregnant After Lapro? I Was Told It Would Be Easy To Conceive.
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

2 laparoscopic surgeries, a year apart, stage 4 both times, I was told it would be easy to get preg right after but we had no success. I was checked to see if I ovulated and found I have no issues with ovulating. Itā€™s been 3 miserable years and Iā€™m finally going to have another lapro surgery. Iā€™m also going to get my Fallopian tubes flushed. Anyone have success with getting pregnant after having their tubes flushed?
