Hey, I also can’t have any form of contraception.

I like you have tried everything for 6 months. And I end up being really depressed, my endo is worse, headaches, bloated and wanting to stay in bed. And lots more! It’s awful!

But I now know I can’t take anything. Which led my doctor to really struggle with what to actually give me to help!

I’ve recently cut out milk and sugar. and that has help with the bloating and some endo pain.

I don’t really eat red meats anyway. But I’m also looking at cutting out carbs, but I do love pasta and jacket potatoes!!!

I feel your pain. I’m 8 weeks post op, still no period, but endo pain has returned. Even pain after sex again! Aching legs and crampings.

It’s heart wrenching isn’t it. I don’t know what else we can do?x
