Hi All I have been on this sight for a few weeks now, reading all the lovely posts and seeing the great advice and support given. So I thought it was about time to introduce myself and share with you my experience. I was diagnosed with RA March 2011, just two months after giving birth to my second

I may be premature, but I'm scared and have no-ne to discuss this with. Husband is being strange with me so we're not talking at the moment. I have two lovely little boys 1 and 4 and I'm really scared for them, they need a mum. I was diagnosed with a large fibroid on the outside of my uterus in 2005

My little daughter turned 11 months today. I go for my diagnostic laparoscopy on Thursday. This has officially been the worst year of my life. Between the appalling pregnancy with the undiagnosed cyst on my ovary, the crap c-section when mysteriously I couldn't deliver (shock cyst in way!!), the cyst

In under 2 weeks time I'm going in for my much delayed lap to see if I have endo. No treatment, no coil, just a look-see. I am thinking about what to take.. Loose clothes to wear afterwards, toiletries for a shower to get the post-op gunge off, pain relief, iPod for something to listen to, tissues for

I'm in the process of being diagnosed and they're threatening to put me in the Mirena coil when they do my lap, but I have had a very bad reaction with the prog only coil and provera they put me on to try to clear retained placenta after they screwed up my c-section and left some placenta behind.

I was breastfed for 10 wks and them put on formula, and then Wysoy (1976/7 version), when I became lactose intolerant. I couldn't breastfeed my daughter as the piece of placenta they left behind after my c-section made my hormones still think I was pregnant. Then after a d&c I started to get it back

Hi. My gp suspects endo; have been in hospital twice with horrendous abdo pain, had ct scan, ultrasound and xrays - all clear. Pain was across my c-section scar but now is more prominent in my lower back and it's horrible. I've read that this is a symptom of endo but was wondering if anyone else suffers
