laparoscopy or the pill?
Hi all, I have a small endometrioma/ ovarian cyst on my right ovary (1cm, this was not on a scan 12 months ago) and have been diagnosed with endo.

My GP has recommended taking progestogen-only pills to stop constant bleeding caused by progestogen-only implant - how will this help?
Back in September, I got a Nexplanon implant, a form of
contraception
which exclusively releases progestogen. For the last two months I've experienced constant menstrual bleeding (every single day) as a side-effect.

Is it normal to not withdrawal bleed on the pill?
I have been on the combined pill for about six months. Every month I have had withdrawal bleeding. This month I have not, should I be worried? Or take a pregnancy test?

Dhea and cysts
Hi I was just wondering if anyone on here as experience of dhea giving them cysts? I am on a low dose of just 25 mg every other day and I feel like I can feel stuff going on down there so I'm getting a bit paranoid it's giving me cysts. Just wondered if this has happened to anybody and if so what happens

Ibrance tablets
When I started Ibrance I was receiving capsules. They also sent me a pill caddy to put them in. A few months in I then received blister pack tablets with no explanation or direction. I dispensed the blister packs into the pill caddy just as I had done with the capsules. Just recently I read that I should

Has anybody found their endo symptoms eased after coming off contraception?
Hi, I’m new to the forum. I spoke to my doctor today and have decided to come off my contraceptive pills as none of them have helped my period / endo pain. Has anybody come off their pill and found that their endo symptoms eased slightly? I’m a bit worried in case it doesn’t help, but I would rather

Hormone treatment
Hello guys, hope everyone is okay. I've been suffering with endometriosis symptoms for the past 13 years, and finally I'm having it looked into. I've been told that they wanna switch me from the pill to the mirena coil as this will help symptoms, they don't want to do surgery as I don't have children

HRT or Natural Treatment for perimenopause
Hi All I am weighing up my continued approach to managing perimenopause. At the moment I am on HRT (Oestrogel and Utrogestan) and have to say am still struggling with getting doseage right perhaps but in the meantime struggling with symptoms associated with perimenopause. I am seeing growing research

Need help raising Iron
Hi all. I've taken a few tests in the past weeks and am at a loss over how slowly iron has been going up. First took an NHS test, which was taken at 11am on [u]18 Feb[/u]. I heard 10.15am on the phone, but turns out it was planned for 10.50am, yikes. Once I got seated the blood was drawn at 11am. No

Update
Hello lovelies, I have just got home from my hospital appointment after seeing a gynae that specialises in Endo. They want me to go on the contraceptive pill, see how I get on. They are referring me for an MRI and that will take 4-6 weeks. After that, I’ll go back, discuss the results and then they
