IBS, possibly menopause, any advice
I am now 45, I stopped taking the mini-pill a year ago, decided I would give my body a rest as I’ve been been on it or
contraception
since I was 17 ( to ease menstrual cycles ) as they were awful.

Prolonged period
I don’t want to go onto any
contraception
because we are trying for a baby. It’s starting to make me feel so ill and I’m drained all the time and it’s really getting me down. Thanks

Dienogest
My gynae dr moved me from Cerelle
contraception
to Dienogest as that apparently prevents the growth of endometriosis… I had my laparoscopy surgery in Nov 2021 which confirmed what I said all my life as a young girl to a grown adult- I have endometriosis.

Feeling hopeless
Currently not using any hormonal
contraception
. I live in the U.K. I began getting very heavy and irregular periods about 3 years ago after being regular (but heavy) for years before this.

Hysteroscopy - what to expect? Worried!!!
Scared of mirena too as they may want me to have one, but don't want my pain to increase, and hormonal
contraception
has always made my moods very low. I'm trying to stay calm but getting pretty stressed so any advice welcome.

Ongoing Care
Hi all, Hope you’re all having a pain free day! I received good news today, three weeks post lap, biopsies confirmed endo and nothing sinister. Isn’t it strange considering the diagnosis good news - it is though after years of ‘there’s nothing wrong’. I’ve now been discharged back to the care of

Possible Hysterectomy at 42 as feel everything else hadn’t worked
My first time posting and really sorry for the long post. I have been struggling for the last 13 years, I’ve lost all of my thirties to pain and discomfort. My first laparoscopy and helium beam treatment back in 2011 they detected peritoneal pocketing found in the left uteri- sacral ligament and left

completely numb and don’t know what to do - heartbeat stopped
I can’t believe I’m writing this, I thought I’d be telling my family good news today instead. I went for a scan at 7+4 and the baby had no heartbeat and stopped growing at 7 weeks. I have only 2 really low grade embryos frozen and would like to transfer as soon as I can. I’m not expecting them to work

Nexplanon
I’ve had the insertion for about 4 years now and I’ve had my ups and downs with it. For starters I don’t have a period for months. But when I do I’ll bleed for weeks. Currently it’s been months without me bleeding and no complaints but at the same time I feel like it’s made me gain weight / prevent me

Gaslighting and downplay of symptoms?
Long story short in December 2023 i was put on a waiting list for a gyno appointment for the possibility of having endometriosis. I just had my appointment today (11/08/24). However the doctor i had it with basically said that regardless if i have an MRI or a diagnostic laparoscopy that theres a 90%

palpitations- synthroid 50 mcg
i have been on 50 mcg synthroid for 3 months, been getting morning palpitations after i take my am dose. Would cutting down the dose, taking it twice a day( cut the pill in half) or taking it at night instead of morning help. Bloodwork is in range & i feel fine otherwise. Thanks

How to feel after diagnosis?
I started with endo symptoms in 2020, in 2022 I finally had a laparoscopy to diagnose me with endometriosis. Since then my specialist told me it’s a mild case etc and apart from going onto the pill it was just using pain management. The pain got gradually worse and my specialist gaslit me into thinking

Total vs Free T4 and T3 tests
A regular question is whether we should test Free T4 and/or T3, or Total T4 and/or T3. I was reading the current prescribing information for Armour Thyroid (in the USA) and noticed this issue is actually addressed: [i]Changes in TBg concentration should be taken into consideration in the interpretation

Wait list from referral
Hey :)I just want some empathy I think! I got my referral to speak to a gynae (so I'm not even sure if they're an endo specialist yet!) About 6 weeks ago. I chased up with my doctors as I hadn't even heard if the referral had been received. I've been told the wait list for the initial consultation is

Dienogest side effects
Hello, I started dienogest nearly 4 weeks ago and up until last week I had very few side effects. I started taking it about 10 days into my cycle. I started bleeding a week ago (around when my period would’ve been) and it’s not stopped, usually my periods are 4/5 days long. I had real bad stomach

No treatment
Hi all, I just wonder if there are others there who have gaps in between referral, diagnosis and surgery with no treatment? I stopped taking contraceptives nine months ago due to other health issues without consulting anybody and my main worry now is what if my endo has grown? I haven’t had a lap
