Changing from IUD to IUS
Hi, So I've had my IUD (Copper coil) in for the past 3 years or so. I've never had a problem, I suffered with pretty painful periods anyway but nothing as bad as they are now. About 8 months ago I started getting severe period pain and bleeding in between periods. I kept a log of my periods and thought

Possible endometriosis?
Hello, I'm new here. I'm 21 years old and have suffered with very very painful periods since I first started having them, pain relief doesn't alleviate the pain much and I often find myself unable to stand/carry out everyday tasks when I'm on my period. I'd class my periods on the heavier side but not

Feel like giving up but it's only getting worse

It all seemed pretty normal for the first few years and from the age of 15 I started taking the pill. When I turned 18 my

A year of pain and still no answers. Looking for the experience of others
Hi. I'm seeking experiences here not because I have been diagnosed with endometriosis but because this is what I think I have. My aim is to seek out the experience of others so I can consider my next medical step. For just over the last year I have been experiencing anything from mild to debilitating

I ran out of time
I'm 43, and in the last twelve months I've had two incidents of
absent
periods
. My GP investigated it first time and when my periods started again put it down to the stress of my international move.

I'm new here and I am not sure if I have endometriosis....
Hi, ever since I started my periods, I never experienced period pains...maybe had some flatulation and very very mild cramping, but besides that I thought I was incredibly lucky. Just under two years ago I had the copper IUD put in and my periods became heavier and oh god, so very painful at the start

Painful period after surgery
Hi ladies. I had my first lap which confirmed endo. They removed what they could. My first cycle after was so heavy and painful no different to before the surgery. I'm having my second cycle now currently sat here crying with the pain. I just feel the surgery hasn't helped or made a difference. Has anyone

heavy uterine bleeding/clots on Xarelto
Hi All! I hope someone can give me some feedback on this issue. So in January I was diagnosed with DVT (blood clots in my leg and pelvis). I'm 41 and am a non smoker. My only risk other than autoimmune conditions that I have is that I am on the birth control pill (I have been on it consecutively since
