Have you improved your symptoms with a healthy diet and exercise alone?
Hi. I was wondering if anyone has had success in regaining regular periods through a strict no sugar etc diet and exercise. A lot of people online claim to have ‘cured’ their PCOS with extreme healthy eating and as the pill is not suiting me I was thinking of trying it? I’m lucky to not struggle with

Progesterone only pill?
I had the depo injection and found it really didn’t go well with my body (it was awful for me) just like all the other forms of
contraception
I’ve tried. The hospital have advised my last option is ‘progesterone only pill’. I wanted to hear other people’s experience with this?

Pill to prevent endo returning
Hi all, I'm sure that this has been asked many times but I have severe endo which was cleared as much as poss with a lap last November. To prevent it coming back my surgeon suggested either going on the mini pill or the combined pill and not having a break. Anyone have any advice on which is best, if

Raised cortisol and prolactin. Could it be due to T3?
I do also have pcos but can't tolerate metformin, inositol or hormonal
contraception
treatments. They make me gain more weight.

So many concerns about life affected by endo
Hi everyone, this may turn out to be very long but I need a bit of a splurge of all the things I've been worrying about... I was diagnosed with probable endo and endometriomas last January, then took ages to have scans etc because of covid. I finally had an MRI before Christmas, which showed stage 4

Constant bleeding being ignored by docs
I have always had issues with my periods, heavy bleeding and bleeding between periods which has always been shrugged off by numerous doctors as "just one of those things that happen to some people" however over the last 6 months I have had some type of bleeding almost daily, it ranges from spotting to

Coming off the pill
I am looking at coming off the pill, I have been on different pills for 10 years now and I’m looking to come off. I’m not doing it to become pregnant but more so because I don’t want the side effects of the hormones anymore. I was told I probably have endometriosis about 18 months ago but they didn’t

Natural cycles with endo
I was just wondering if anyone has come of
contraception
or whether this had helped in away for some people. Before I got the coil my pain was mostly around the time of my periods with them being really painful and really heavy but now while I no longer have a period I am in pain everyday.

High heart rate at night

Bleeding on the POP pill
I took the cerazette desogestrel pill for around a year and never had a bleed or a period. I took a break from it for around 3 weeks and decided to go back on it. I’ve now been back on the pill just over two months and I’m having vaginal bleeding but I don’t know if it’s a period? Why am I now bleeding

Non-Stop Bleeding?
I have posted before and trolled through many posts but can't seem to find anyone in the same position as me. I have suffered from periods that won't stop on their own and only contraceptives will stop them. I am now hoping to conceive so have come off the pill and went back to non stop bleeding. 2 months

What questions to ask my doctor?
Also, at the last appointment, she mentioned changing my
contraception
from the pill to the contraceptive injection or the implant and I was just wondering if anyone had any previous experiences with these methods of
contraception
?

Implant removed over a month ago and still no period?
I had the contraceptive implant fitted when I was 17 and had it in for two and a half years. It was removed last month, on the 3rd Feb. So it has now been over a month. When I had the implant, I had frequent periods, usually every other week for the whole 2.5 years. Since having it removed, I have not

Trying for Baby 1 - having problems!
We never used

really and just went the natural route - being very careful each month around ovulation time. Months of trying and nothing. So I called the doctor, and they wanted to do some tests...

RLS and progesterone birth control... trigger?
I was doing really well on 10/325 hydrocodone every night plus 1/2 pill of my .25 mg Requip to keep the RLS at bay. But lately, I have had a series of really bad nights (and then DAYS) when I can’t seem to get relief from my regular meds. The only thing I can think of that is different is that I got

Are you heart palpitations this severe?
Hi, I am a 38 yo female who has been experiencing heart palpitations my entire adult life. I have had Holters, ECGs, and echos, and only PVCs and suspected inappropriate sinus tachycardia have been diagnosed. I have learned to live harmoniously with the occasional flip-flops and tachycardia. However,
