I have the nexplanon to try and help control my endo. I will go months without bleeding and then it comes out of nowhere for weeks at a time. I noticed it became better after my lap but about 6 months later it is back again. Seems like I can’t go anywhere without pads and tampons just in case. I’m scared to death because my wedding is Tuesday and is hate to bleed on my dress.
I had mine put in wrong and sat on the radial nerve and had to have it taken out within a week. I do not know if the significant worse abdominal pain would have gone away or if my serious anxiety and… read more
Im abby. I have endo and im 18. I found out i had it when i was 16 and a half. Can someone tell me what they have done to stop pains ? I have pains all the time and my obgyn is very pushy with what he wants me to do and i just dont know. Help 😢
I've noticed a lot of people here post about having to have an appendectomy with excision surgeries. I'm unsure if it's actually just super common, but it's possible that the endo has spread there.
I started taking continuous birth control in 2016 due to severe periods, but now instead of having one debilitating week a month I have issues daily. I dont know if its just the progression of the disease or if its worth it to go back to taking the placebos and have good days 3/4 of the month? I dont even know if that would work..
Ive been on so many different birth control pills Ive lost track of them all lol. I tried nexplanon for two years but had near constant spotting with it so had to taken out and went back on the pill… read more

Wow thank you! That is an awesome response!
Does anyone have suggestions on what birth controls help the most? My endo has caused my whole body to swell up with extreme bloating and continuous pelvic pain. There are SO many birth control options but I want to make sure I choose the one that will be the most helpful to treat my symptoms without extreme mood swings. (I already have a predisposition for depression.)
I was on Larin FE which hasn't helped at all and I just started Isibloom.
I missed a period and was worried about pregnancy. I understand that Orilissa does not prevent against pregnancy and could cause early pregnancy loss so I took a pregnancy test every month. First time missing a period on the medicine so I took another Test. Test were negative, still no period, and I stopped the pill days ago. Has anybody else stopped Orilissa? When did your periods come back? We're you able to conceive afterwards?
Wicked late here. I was on Oralissa last year (around March) and didn’t get my period until September. I then stopped are November so my husband and I can try to conceive. My period did return until… read more
My OBGYN recommended me getting the nexplanon injection to treat the pain I've been in, has anyone else used this?
I'm 47 and have suffered from endometriosis since my 20s. I didn't have good insurance until I decided to use my VA benefits. So, in June of 2018 I had my right ovary removed due to endometriosis and… read more
I have to make a decision between Lupron or IUD as the birth control pill is no longer an option for me. What does everyone feel is better for pain relief and elimination of growth?
I have the Mirena IUD as birth control and still use Lupron for endo. So it’s not really a choice between the two. Lupron was hard on my overall system but I got significant pain relief from my… read more
What birth control would you recommend? nexplanon, the shot, birth control pill (which one?)
My doctor wants me to get the nexplanon tomorrow. I'm unsure. I've had a bad reaction to the shot. Trying to find something to keep me from getting prego but will help with the endo.
Thanks
I had nexplanon. My doctor believes it is what caused my cysts and painful endo symptoms. The hormone in it is too high and it stimulates your ovaries. I've heard no good things about nexplanon and I… read more
Hello everyone, I’ve been back and forth from doctors and specialists for over a year now trying to find the cause of an ammonia smell that is only on my underwear near my BUTT, not the front. My black underwear has been bleached around that area and I’ve never smelled an ammonia smell like this before, it is like straight hair dye chemical smell. Sometimes there is a mucus leakage from my butt. I thought I had parasites or something so I went to the doctor for blood work and then directly to my… read more
I’ve had it before nexplanon
