Are any of you on both the rod "implant" and the combined pill?
Hello all! This could be a long story but few months ago my blood pressure was high each time I saw my GP they decided to take me off the combined pill (I already have implant in my arm its just over a year old). Using two methods have helped my flares remain at bay. When they took me off combined

Cube pessary disaster
Finally saw an NHS specialist gynae nurse in local hospital this week, having been diagnosed with bladder & bowel prolapses as well as cervical prolapse. After examination she recommended a size 4 cube pessary. To paraphrase - insertion was a struggle (I’m OK with smears, IUD insertion & childbirth)

Possible phlebitis on birth control worried
I've been on birth control for about 10 years....I chose to go on it, as I had the most crippling anxiety and it took a while to figure it was my hormones causing it.After a few years, I started having very heavy periods with clots, and I was given a hysteroscopy. They only found that my womb was slightly

Birth control for PCOS and ENDO
Hi girlies!! I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago and was put on the Mirena coil to help relieve symptoms and to balance out my hormones. Last week I had my first diagnostic and excision surgery for Endo where they found Endo in my pelvis and around my ovaries. I still have the Mirena coil in place

Dienogest?
I've finally seen a specialist and he's told me I haven't got deep infiltrating endo as it's not showing up on scans but I could have mild so has put me onto the list for surgery (which is a relief) but he also wants me to start dienogest. I've never mentally reacted well to birth control but was willing

issues with Zalleta pill
Hello ladies, nice to be here - this is my first post!

Hi, sorry for the long post in advance.

Gyne Referral Made
Hi, after years of painful periods, painful sex, I decided to go to my GP to ask for a referral for a possible endometriosis diagnosis. My GP did a pelvic exam today and I have been sore ever since on the left side (feels like it's the left ovary). My fertility consultant during a stimulation cycle

Estrogen vs ADT?
I've read 5 recent papers that discuss the use of estrogen as an alternative treatment to ADT (Lupron, etc.). The new data looks very favorable. A bit of history. Huggins discovered this effect around 1941-44, and he found that high doses of estrogen (estradiol) efficiently castrated men, which

Hello, I have had tinnitus in one ear for 7 years now. I have had 8 operations on my ear , grommets put in and taken out, a bone removed and now I’m onto my second cochlear implant. I still have really bad tinnitus and was wondering if there was anyone who has a cochlear and still experiences tinnitus

Super vitamins
I cannot believe it, I have just come across a super new vitamin pill costing between 149 pounds sterling up to over seven hundred pounds for 180 days supply. Its main asset is that it is contained in rather an attractive copper pill box. The pill has turmeric, vitamin D, vitamin K etc etc and presumably

All the symptoms of OC but nothing seen on pelvic ultrasound or TV ultrasound and CA 125 of 11
Hi girls!! So my story started 4 months ago going to my GP with unusual bleeding, pain during sex, bowel and bladder changes and pelvic pain. Fast forward to now it has been a monumental struggle to get my GPs to do anything but with a lot of pushing I have had a pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound done
