2 questions...

Hi ladies,

Hope your well!

I have two questions..

Is a flush a symptom if endo because I swear I have them - im only 22 so it can't be the menopause.

And the other thing was do any of you have swelling in your ankles? I've had it for about 4 days now, don't know if I should pay a visit to the doctor tomorrow.

Thanks in advance.

I've had swelling in my ankles since I went on my progesterone pill, I've heard it's a side effect of some birth controls.

As for flushing, I used to get really red cheeks all the time and then I developed cystic acne. I heard flushing is a symptom of high estrogen, my acnes gone now.

I think what caused the flushing to go down for me was using a cream for rosacea and a moisturizer with a lot of sun screen in it.

The cream I use is called 'Rosiver' but I think it's called something else in other places.

My sunscreen is by CeraVe for oily and normal skin but I use it in combination with the regular moisturizer b/c of dry skin.

And then after I went on and off a combination pill the flushing came back and it hasn't gone down till I started progesterone just recently but it wasn't as bad a before.

I've heard that upon the introduction of a hormone during ovulation (I'm not sure which 1) it causes you to blush.

Is there bruising with the swelling? Are you on a combination pill? I would phone up the dr's office and ask them.
