Zoladex injections for endometriosis
Hi , I am having my first Zoladex injection on Tuesday 23rd February for endometriosis treatment. I am very nervous as of what to expect or how I should prepare. Also my Gynaecologist has advised me to remain on my combined pill ? Has anyone else done so?

Suspected endo - any advice?
Hey guys, Hope you are all keeping well. I've just had a consultation with a gynaecologist yesterday regarding some fibroids they found last year through an ultrasound. She was really lovely and empathetic, said she has similar issues herself and like me, didn't't get on too well with cerazette, which

A little help?
I’ve got endometriosis and I’m on pills for it. I don’t really know if this is making my mental health worse or I guess its just the normal amount I get? I don’t really know who to talk to about it since none of my friends have this condition nor they are on the pill for it. I don’t really feel comfortable

A little advice..

Prevention is better than cure
Vaccine distribution is going well. However, until there is stronger evidence it will control the outbreak there is no harm in reminding ourselves the only way to be sure is to limit contact with others. The government's slogan "behave as if you have the virus" should be "behave as if everyone you

Appointment - coil/pills
Hi guys, I’ve got my second gynae telephone appointment this evening. I know they’re going to want me to have the coil but I’m really reluctant to for a couple of reasons. 1. Even having a speculum for smear is very painful so I’m terrified insertion will be excruciating and 2. I’ve heard you can have

Trying to conceive: battle plan??
However, the thought of coming off
contraception
altogether (let alone for 2+ years) terrifies me, as the pill is a huge part of managing the pain for me and I am scared of what my life will look like without it.

Menopause and the pill
Hi All. I’ve got a quick question. I’m 49 and taking the pill (I use it to mask symptoms of endometriosis) but am thinking of stopping it. I just wondered how I would know if I am nearing the menopause whilst taking it still. My GP practice nurse said I would just know (and that I would just know

Splitting T3 and storing them?
I've been using a pill cutter to split my 25mcg tiromel. I split up quite a few tablets at once and have been storing them in the pill cutter itself just so that they are ready to take when needed. I have only been on T3 for almost 4 weeks but not feeling much benefit at all. The only difference is that

Withdrawal bleed on the pill
So I've been on the pill for 7 years now after an accidental pregnancy which has made me incredibly paranoid. I take the pill religiously. I've been having my usual withdrawal bleeds, normal flow etc etc. But any small symptom during the month and I fear I'm pregnant even straight after my bleed. Would

Supraventricular Ectopy and premature ventricular contractions
I have been experiencing the above almost permanent since last Friday . I normally have PAF and ectopics from time to time . It’s been suggested by my cardiac nurse to start Flecanide 50mg twice a day . I’ve had a blood test but no ecg/echo . They want a ecg 2 weeks after I start the flecanide.

Struggling with pain
I was diagnosed with endometriosis and was diagnosed after the lap. Before I was diagnosed I spent years trying to manage pain and reduce bleeding using oral contraceptives. I’ve been on cerazette for about a year now and it’s definitely reduced bleeding but I’m still suffering from severe cramps throughout

Sex drive issues
I was on
contraception
both the pill then the bar in my arm but came off them both as I thought they were the reasons the pains began and my drives gone. But I came off them and wasn’t on them for more than a few months.

My pelvic pain story: still on the journey to a diagnosis and feeling discouraged
I am 30 years old and I’ve been experiencing severe pelvic pain almost since I began menstruating 17 years ago. Prescription NSAIDs, first doled out to me some time in my mid-teens, have outlasted more than one romantic relationship and several friendships as a constant presence in my life. By 19, mefenamic
