Life without hormones

Hi All,

I am having my third lap on Monday for excision of endometriosis. I'm also having a dye test to check my tubes aren't blocked and having my mirena removed (eek) as my husband and I are going to try and conceive.

I'm nervous as I have been taking hormones constantly be it the pill, depo injection or the mirena (sometimes a combination of the three!) since the age of 13 and I am now 26.

What is my life going to be like without hormones?!
