I have not been getting periods since 4 months. I feel fatigue all the time. I am unable to walk for 15 minutes actively and if I do, I'll have to sleep for at least one hour. I have cramps sometimes but no sign of periods. I have been on medication of dienogest visaane. I had taken it in last December 2023 for 28 days and from that period, I have been just waiting for periods. Due to this, I haven't been able to focus on my studies also.

Hi! I had my first laparoscopy a week ago and endometriosis stage 1 was confirmed. It was primarily found on both ovaries and my bladder and part of my bowel was adhered to my abdomen. My question is how the stages can correlate to infertility, due to the fact it was found on both my ovaries.

Also I believe they did ablation to remove the endo, is it likely it will come back in the future? Even at stage 1?

My endometriosis specialist and general surgeon are planning to remove two endometriosis masses from my abdominal cavity, but the general surgeon says he’ll be making an up and down incision. I have never had an incision like that, I’m very nervous about not knowing what to expect during recovery. Can anyone tell me about their experience recovering from an incision cut that way?
