I feel so annoyed at myself ! I promised myself the last time that I wouldn't try taking hormones again but my gyne some how talked me into it at my last appointment , only to delay the process of a full hysterectomy I think ! After 3 months I feel like I've lost myself again , the anxiety and depression is back in full swing and I've gained weight making my self confidence plummet, I feel like a big bloated mess , I've stopped the dam pill (11 days ago) and I think I'm now about to ovulate , so aswell as the banging headaches , body aches and pains I'm sure my tummy and lower back will be agony in the next few days as I can already feel pressure and stabbing pain , I was diagnosed with stage 3 Endo and adenomyosis last year at the time of sterilisation, I was sterilised because I couldn't stand any other form of contraception, the diagnosis shead light on alot of my symptoms and now I know my only option to maybe relieve some of those symptoms is a full hysterectomy. Finally this afternoon I was able to cry ! I feel like I've bottled everything up over the last few weeks and I couldn't let go , I guess now the pill is working its way out of my system I can "let go" crying actually feels good even though my head is banging even more now !

You were sterilised because you couldn’t tolerate contraception and then they put you back on the hormones again?! Unbelievable. So sorry you have to go through this. Tbh as you know this period will probably be bad as your body adjusts. Try to get as much rest as you can. Do you have good painkillers from your doctor, that is at least something useful they can do?

I get the frustration of being persuaded into something that really you know won’t work. It’s so tough negotiating these discussions with some doctors.

Gentle (((hugs))) Hope the crying and posting here helped a bit.
