I was diagnosed with Stage 4 endomet 2 months ago. I had my endometrial cysts removed on both of my ovaries the same week after my diagnosis. I have been taking Visanne since to prevent reoccurrence. I'm still recovering from my surgery but I'm relieved because I don't experience the excruciating menstrual pain anymore. However, about 3 weeks ago, I missed a pill then the next day I started having spotting (sometimes chocolate colored blood, sometimes fresh). It's only very mild bleeding with no… read more
I had success stopping the bleeding by taking a full dose of nsaids for 5 days. I took one 220mg Aleve every 12 hours. Spotting has not returned. I've heard other people have success with taking a 5… read more
I have not had the surgery to have endo confirmed, but it is suspected by my new doc. She has put me on Yaz as I don't tolerate other types of bc. I am wondering what to expect from being back on bc? Will it supress the growth, symptoms? I assume that it won't make it regress? She has also mentioned wanting to send me to a specialist for, what I am not sure. Possible surgery I think?
I think that's my birth control... I'm not at home to check. I did really well on it for a few years....
Any advice on trying to conceive? What has helped, what didn't help? When should we look into IVF, surrogacy, things like this? We have been trying to conceive for 3 years. I'm 24, my husband 34. He had a semen analysis done so we know it's not him. I had a lap done in August 2012, with 7 Lupron injections following. I have tried NuvaRing for 5 months and that didn't seem to help anything. Just looking for some advice!
My endo doctor told me that when the time comes for me to start trying to have kids he would let me try for 6 months and if it didn't work go straight to IVF right away. It's worth looking into!
Does endo affect a lot of other body part? Because if so i think i need to talk to my doctor. Im getting seriously sore.
Mine was/is attached to my bladder and parts of my back
I have stage 3 Endo and I'm 29 years old and seriously considering freezing my eggs! Have any of you done this? I heard insurance covers the cost if you have stage 3 or 4 Endo
I think it's worth talking to a fertility specialist about. However, freezing your eggs is still a very new process (the current method started in 2012). Most people that have been pregnant from these… read more
Have You ever had blood in your urine test?
Thank you
I have been on Visanne for a month and the pain from Endo. is gone! The only side effects so far are acne, bloating and prolonged menstrual cycle and spotting. My question is how long is the bleeding going to go on for because it's been 2 weeks already and as much as I love that the pain is gone I don't like being on a period that never ends!!
What was the herbal medicine? I’ve been bleeding for 11 days and I’m in my 4th month of taking visanne.
Has anyone had a hystorectomy? Can you give me all details on it, good and bad? I'm looking to get one soon, i found the right specialist. Doesn't make me any less afraid though. Thanks in advance.
I am bleeding for 20 days straight after having a laparoscopy last August and implanting Marina coil. Its pain everyday. If I can go without a painkiller for a day, I am tired and achy through all the… read more
