I swear that I am having thyroid issues but all of my tests shownitbis normal. I am.asking for an Endocrinology specialist today because I have body aches, fatigue, hair loss, cold intolernace and moodiness. These are not my usual menopause symptoms. I am too young to feel this bad and all of my autoimmune markers are normal. Anyone struggle with thyroid symptoms and having a hard time getting diagnosed?
<3 and hugs! I hope you find some answers!
Anyone who suffered from infertility, get pregnant after excision? If so, what surgeon did your excision? I'm in New Jersey but am willing to travel.
I went through “unexplained” infertility for 4 years including an ectopic, a miscarriage, clomid and a failed IUI. I finally ended up with an endometrioma which signaled my Dr that I have Endo. I had… read more
I know that my estrogen levels are sky high, due to my symptoms and I have extremely bad brain fog.
I’m curious about this too!
So, i've previously had doctors tell me that my endo wouldn't cause the weird bleeding issues that i have. But i just don't buy it. So i wanted to ask if this happens to anyone else:
After having endo surgery in 2016 my periods changed. They're shorter, and lighter (although not less painful.)
In the beginning of 2017 i stopped getting periods altogether, after roughly 3 months i went to the doctor - who said it wasn't endo and put me on birth control (only took it for a couple months cause… read more

Is that Lupron that makes your body believe that you and perimenopause is that that has so many things done that I have no idea at this point. I’m just going back in time.
You may want to get off the provera and try natural progesterone (100-200 mg troches or Prometrium in capsules) along with estradiol. It's working for me! Reeds' Compounding Pharmacy (reedsrx.com)… read more
Hi all,
I've been trying to convince for almost a year now, without any luck at all, which is really disheartening. My menstrual cycle is regular and I've been using ovulation strips as well as taking folic acid.
I'm currently waiting for blood tests and scans to check my fertility, is there anything else I can try to help conceive?
Thank you x
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member - Sure thing! I took notes from that lecture since after my exision & fibroid removal surgery I'm going to be doing egg retrieval, freezing embryos for later & possibly… read more
About a week before my period i’ve been noticing i’m getting pale, lightheaded and dizzy. They come and go in waves. I also notice my blood pressure is elevated the week before my period then will go back down to normal. I had laparoscopy in june and i’ve been getting like this since. I told my surgeon and he doesn’t see concerned but I am worried. Just went for blood work to see if i’m anemic but after my period it goes away, comes back before the next one. Is this normal? should I be… read more
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member Thank you for your response and validating my feelings, really appreciate it. I never knew how hard this recovery would be. I went for blood work and everything came back… read more
My husband and I have had quite the struggle conceiving and staying pregnant. He read recently that by seeing a regular endocrine Dr over a reproductive endocrinologist, that there's a better chance of conceiving naturally vs IVF . Does anyone have experience or input?
Thanks!
Hey ladies, just wondering if any of you have seen an endocrinologist for help with your hormonal medications and hormones in general. I've been having such a hard time with all my hormonal medication I have tried and I'm considering going to a hormone specialist just to see if they have any better ideas for me.
I'd love to hear your experiences <3
I just started seeing one recently! I’m waiting for my health insurance to approve the new medications, but was extremely happy with my first appointment. He had a number of treatment/pain management… read more
