I've just been taken off Gedarel and put onto the mini pill cerazette instead as Gedarel wasn't seeming to help me I'm afraid, but that doesn't mean it won't help you, we're all different! Hope it gives you some relief!

Can I ask about your nausea as I keep being told this is not symptomatic but this is my most debilitating symptom. I have constant nausea but occasionally it is right up in my throat and the smell of certain things makes me want to throw up. It makes sense to me as endo is when there is a problem with hormones and this would clearly tie in.

My dr didn't either till I mentioned that it was a very common symptom!! Has it made a difference bein off the pill? Peppermint tea helps too

Yeah but think that is to do with the reduction of pain the coil has caused-of has been amazing. Are you on the pill?

Yea I'm on the pill constantly with no breaks but still get some bleeding anyway which is annoying!! My gp has referred me back to gynea but there is a 9 month waitin list!!!

Yeah i had started to get that. I Think it eventually becomes too weak to deal With it. Nine months is crazy. Push them for sooner or maybe ask doctor for coil
