anyone on birth control pills still getting horrific cramps?
I’m on the pill but still get cramping as bad as when I had natural periods. Anyone else like this? Any recommendations for a pill that helps? I’m due on and having the most intense abdominal and hip cramps right now. I’ve been like this most of the day, I was bent double at my desk at work even with

Birth Control Pill Question
I usually have periods that last 5 days. Would I still be protected on the 7 week break (sugar pills/placebos) since on 2 days I don't have my period. Also I barely get blood so would I still be protected if I start the pill on those lighter days?

Unable to get a full hysterectomy.
Hi I was wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me. I am 43 years old and up until November 2022 had never received any procedure for my condition, I was disagnosed over 10 years ago and was given 3 options - the pill, a procedure that would remove endometriosis but I was assured it would come back

Endo with no period
I take the contraceptive pill and have no periods but every month a few weeks before what would be my period week, I get very emotional, pain in my ovaries (I have endo cysts), my panic attacks kick in and I can't sleep properly. This goes on for about a week or a bit more. Does anyone else who has no

A long post - How medication was ruining my life, not making me better! Reassurance for anyone concerned about stopping medication.
Hi ladies. A very Happy New Year to you all! I am hoping that 2023 treats you all with improved health and a wealth of happiness. I have seen a lot of posts recently appearing on my feed regarding treatments and hormones, and so I just wanted to share my recent experience of stopping all treatments.

What is the process for FET?
Hi ladies I’m now planning my first ever FET and just wondered what the process of this is? I think I’m looking for a kind of time line as my consultant mentioned me going on the pill before this starts (I’m presuming the month before). I want to have the FET in May so does that mean treatment starts

Superficial Endometriosis- conflicting advice!
Happy New Year Everyone! Advice needed if anyone also has superficial endometriosis? I have had conflicting advice. End of September I had a clear MRI with a private specialist surgeon, he said it was likely Superficial Endometriosis and he would give me a diagnostic laparoscopy and remove anything

Can you relate?
I’ve just signed up and written my bio, and wondered if there were ppl here that can relate? I’ll copy and paste it below :) From when I started my period the pain levels were beyond anything anybody I met or spoke with had experienced. Every month I have to take each day I’m on my period: 3,200mg

Cutting T3 questions.
So I have 2 pill cutters. One by my bed for first thing and last thing dose and another in my handbag for mid PM dose. So far I only cut one pill at a time and store the pieces in the pill cutter, but I was wondering if it was safe storage wise to cut a few more? Also, if I should get more active and
