Hi all, this is my first post. I'm so glad to have found this community. I'm 31 and I was diagnosed with endometriosis in November when I had a laparoscopy with excision. There is also suspected endometriosis leading into my bowel which could not be dealt with in surgery on that day.
My mission currently is to try to track symptoms. I am on the pill desogestrel (aka Cerazette) and this is good for me because it stops me ovulating and bleeding, and keeps those related symptoms in check. However, I want to become a detective now because I want to see how my bowel movements and mood are affected by whatever "cycle" I may be having. Mood is a tricky one because I don't know what may be caused by the pill and what by the endo.
If anyone has a recommendation for an app to track a cycle without having to log ovulation or bleeding, I would be very grateful. Otherwise I may have to go old school and use pen and paper to draw myself a calendar (heaven forbid).
I would also love to hear from other amenorrheic (period-less) folks about your experiences to make me feel less alone!
As a side note, if anyone has anything they can tell me about endometriosis as related to "pelvic floor dysfunction" (i.e. the muscles being far too tight), I am all ears! I have just learned that this may be related to endo and that's another thing to ask my consultant about!
Negative laparoscopy but severe symptoms of endo
Is leg pain a symptom of endometriosis?
Endo bowel symptoms after hysterectomy
Dyspareunia - painful sex - as main symptom?
