Periods
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

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:

Trying To Get Pregnant
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

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

Lightheaded/ Dizziness

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

Endocrinologist For Endo?

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.
