We don’t need
contraception
. Just wondering do we still need to use condoms. What are the consequences if we don’t?

Contraception as a 'treatment
I've read a lot of conflicting information, as the GP is telling me that
contraception
is the only treatment for endo and that i need to give it more time, but i've read a lot about
contraception
merely being a bandaid for the problem and that there is no scientific evidence that it slows the growth

What contraception with endo
I am about to turn 25 next month and I’m no where near ready for children but I would love to not be on any
contraception
so I could give my body a break from all the hormones but I am terrified as to what this would mean for my endometriosis?

Hashimotos and Endometriosis
My GP recommended going on hormonal
contraception
(Mirena coil). I was wondering if any women have any experience of this or insight as to how one condition might affect the other?

Can progesterone-only contraception make endometriosis worse?
I feel like my symptoms have got worse since my laparoscopy and excision last April, but have been trying progesterone only
contraception
since then, which seems to make my endo loads worse.

After birth fertility
Hi, ive just recently had a baby and the midwives have said that you are most fertile after giving birth and to think about
contraception
. Does anyone know if the ‘most fertile’ window is the same for someone who has PCOS? Thank you

Apps for tracking endo pain
Hi, does anyone know of any apps that I can use to track when my symptoms are and what the symptoms are as I am struggling with period tracking apps as I don't have periods due to
contraception
but still have bad flare ups that I need to manage?

Endometriosis and mirena coil
However,
contraception
has always had a negative impact on my mental health so I'm very unsure whether to go for it and wondering if anything else has worked for anyone

Hormonal medication
After the surgery, they suggested I went on
contraception
to stop it growing back - since my mum has had breast cancer twice, my options are quite limited, and every time I’ve been on hormonal medicine in the past I’ve reacted quite badly, so I decided to wait.

Advice - cysts and TTC
It’s been 4 months with no
contraception
and my cysts have continued to grow. If I wait with no form of
contraception
/Decapeptyl for another 2-3 months my pain will continue to increase and so will the cysts. But the NHS won’t refer me until we’ve been trying to 6 months?!

Endometriosis and Emetephobia
I have been put on every
contraception
you can think of since and so far only the depo injection has been able to mostly control the symptoms, except a few flare ups.

Contraception
Hi. Just over 2 and a half years ago I had the merina coil fitted. Now from a few months ago I've started getting really bad period pains and very heavy bleeding every 2 weeks. Has anyone else experienced anything like this.

Try Mirena again or hysterectomy
My NHS consultant has advised trying the coil again (I’ve tried it 3 times in the past for
contraception
and absolutely hated it - found it uncomfortable after a month and felt strange in myself). I saw a private consultant, who recommended a full hysterectomy.

large clots and really bad pain
Mentally I feel better off
contraception
but my bleeding has gotten worse. Is this normal? Will it eventually calm down? The last 12 hours it just went from light spotting to heavy with severe cramping x
