Should I take pill after endometriosis surgery?
I was diagnosed with endometriosis and I had surgery last year. I had excisions with ablation. Doctor didn't prescribed anything later on. My follow up appointment has been cancelled many times. I had my first appointment only after 5 months. That appointment wasn't even long enough,it's seemed she wanted

POP breakthrough bleeding
Hi everyone. I've been put on the progesterone only pill by my gynae to see if it helps my symptoms (still not actually diagnosed with endo). I'm only nine days into taking the pill. I know it takes a while for your body to adjust and that breakthrough bleeding is common, but right now it's like I've

Hi. I'm 37 years old and i never ask in my life question about what normal or not. In high school (girl school) i always wonder how the other girls new when their period start. When mine began, i start gaining weight super fast and my breast grow too quickly so i got extra loose skin to live with and

struggling to get diagnosed
Since I was 13 I have been dealing with significant pain in my lower abdomen and back, particularly during my menstrual cycle. The intensity of the pain has been increasing, to the point where it is impacting my ability to carry out normal daily activities some days. Additionally, I have been experiencing

WORSE BP MEDS EVER (AMLODIPINE)
Hope I have enough room to write this. My wife and I both took amlodipine 5 mg. I was on it for about 10 years and my wife for 5 years. My wife was having all kinds of problems and I didn't think I had any. Well boy was I wrong. When she quit taking it the withdrawals she had made me quit also. I figured

Weight Gain, Lap nerves & hormone medication after pill/coil?
Hi all, This is my first post and it's so comforting to read others stories/experiences who are going through the same things as me! I have a couple of questions if people wouldn't mind sharing- I was on the waiting list for 2 years and I saw a consultant last week who said it was possible endometriosis

Radio silence
Hi all, has anyone had any experience with chasing their gynaecology department after not hearing from them? The gynaecologist I spoke to on the phone in Feb 2023 said they would be in touch in 1 year to review the pill I'm on, but I haven't had any correspondence from them and it's been over a year.

First Lap & Mirena insertion next week
Hey guys... I finally had the call from the hospital to book in my laparoscopy to excise my endo (picked up on MRI scan) which is on Thursday - I have been waiting for what feels like forever while my symptoms worsen so this is amazing news for me 🥳 They are also going to be placing the Mirena coil

Teva being issued in Hillcross boxes!
Has anyone noticed that Levothyroxine by Teva is being sent in boxes marketed by Hillcross. I’m really annoyed about this as I specifically said to the pharmacist that I can only tolerate Mercury Pharma brand. He said he would source them. He couldn’t, but suggested Accord. I said I’d check the PILs

Thinking about giving up on diagnosis
Hi everyone. I finally had my first consultation at an endometriosis specialist centre. I saw a female doctor for the first time ever since my problems started a few years ago, which was nice. She couldn't believe that my GP surgery wouldn't let me continue with the combined pill and said I would HAVE

progesterone only pill
I can’t take any other form of
contraception
due to migraines with aura and an anterverted womb (so no coils - I’ve tried 2 different ones). I’ve also tried depot injection, implant, mirena coil, jaycee coil, combination pill and progesterone only mini pill.
