Is it safe for me to take the pill?
Hiya. I have PCOS and I have taken the pill before but stopped and now I have put on more weight. My doctor said the pill is the best thing to treat my pcos but is it safe? I'm 5'7 and about 19 stone. I'm also on no other medication to help with my pcos and I don't get a period at all, the last time

Feeling very anxious today that it'll never happen for us
I'm having a low day today. We were meant to be starting our IVF cycle this week, but my ovaries and natural hormones weren't suppressed enough at my baseline scan. I'm back on the pill now for 10 days in the hopes that this will do the trick in time for my next baseline scan on the 1st March. In 2020

Missed period.. is this normal?
I’m not on any
contraception
and we did make a HUGE error of having unprotected sex on the 7th November, the morning after pill was taken. I’m panicking and have been doing pregnancy tests every day for the last 3 days and they’re all negative.

Do I need a second opinion?
Hi, I'm new to this website and I am here to try find some advice! I have recently been diagnosed with endometriosis after 3 years of backwards and forwards between GP and consultant including gynae and gastro in which I was told nothing was wrong with me. After quite a serious flare up landing me in

2nd round success stories?
Hi everyone! I'm starting my second round this week, I've just finished the contraceptive pill and have my baseline scan on Thursday. This time I'm doing a short protocol icsi and it's nerve-wracking to be setting myself up for it all again! I'm in this weird limbo land of trying not to get my hopes

Help with managing pain and day to day life? :(
Hi I've recently been diagnosed with Endometriosis and am waiting for an appointment in March.... I've been put on the contraceptive pill that stops your periods. I've been asked to get a coil but to be honest I don't want it. One of my close friends has endo and shes had the surgery to get tissue removed

Endo, adeno and PCOS. Any tips?
I have had bad experiences with hormonal
contraception
and these haven't proved effective either, so they are also off the table. I'm feeling very low and wondered if there's anyone on here who also has all 3 conditions/suffers fatigue and has any tips they can share?

Potential endo and non-hormonal IUD
I think I have endo, or something similar. I've been on painkillers, NSAIDs and have had an ultrasound that was normal. I am now waiting for my referral to the gyno. I was recommended the birth control pill when I was younger to reduce the symptoms but I don't want anything hormonal. I got the non-hormonal

Dienogest or Hysterectomy?
Hi everyone, thank you for sharing your journeys. I've said this before, but this forum is a massive support for me. I don't post often but it's the first thing I open in the morning and would be lost without the feeling g of support I get from you all. I was wondering if anyone has been on Dienogest

Scar tissue?
Any thoughts on scar tissue after removal of bowel endometriosis? Is surgery worth it? Can scar tissue be prevented? I don't know whether to get surgery but my symptoms were debilitating before I started taking the pill; and even though its a lot better, I am still pretty limited in what I can do now

Birth control help PLEASE
Hi looking some birth control advise please. I am 22 and I am in a relationship with my boyfriend since I was 17. I want to protect myself from getting pregnant. Since being sexually active, I have tried different birth control methods. Originally, starting with the combined pill. I was awful at remembering

Late period on pill
I’m 16 and on the combined pill (levest) and my ‘period’ is a day late. I’m honestly terrified.. am I just overthinking it?

Endo pain
I was diagnosed over a year ago with mild endometriosis and put onto first the combined pill and now the progesterone only pill. I can no longer take the combined pill due to migraines and my age. However I have noticed recently that I have started spotting and getting cramps/backache periodically.

Diagnosed but…. What now?
I’ve been diagnosed with ‘severe’ endo and although it is great to finally know what it is - I am so confused about the next step!! They basically said it’s low and deep and very near blood vessels and nerve endings so removal, although possible, would require very highly skilled surgery and will likely

Afib or palpitations?
Once in a while I get very irregular heartbeats after I go to bed at night. My Dr. said they are palpitations and not afib and did not occur during the 24 hour holter monitor, but I noticed a pattern as to when they occur: always after a very salty and probably MSG restaurant meal and a few drinks with
