Thinking of babies - what to expect endo wise

Hi ladies.

I'm 20 years old and have been suffering with endo symptoms for 7 years now and I'm still struggling to get a diagnosis.

I got the implant fitted in 2015 and it's due for removal in February coming.

My fiancé and I have had many long talks about family and due to my health we would like to start trying sooner rather than later incase we encounter problems.

When I take the implant out, am I likely to bleed?

Once the implant is out and I am on no birth control, will my symptoms worsen?

I'm just looking to prepare myself!

Hey again Stacey, we have a very similar situation again haha, I'm 20 too and starting to think about how to prepare for kids! I didn't have the implant bc I didn't like the idea of it, but I'm on the pill, and as soon as I came off it for a few months for other reasons, the pain was unreal and the periods got super heavy! Idk how long it takes to fully get out of your system but if there's no existing issues then I'd assume sooner rather than later would be best?? And I guess you would bleed bc your periods would probably get back to normal in order to have a kid. Good luck with it all! x
