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

Hey, just wanted some advice or similar stories. I've had endo for around 10 years 4 laparoscapys later and I've been told I can't have any more as it could cause too much damage. I use the contraceptive pill to manage the endo as I've tried pretty much everything else. They don't really want to help

I'm new here
Hi everyone, I'm so glad I came across this page as I feel reassured and more educated already. I went on the pill at 15, to stop my extremely heavy and painful periods and since then everything was fine - periods were regular, a normal amount of pain etc. A year ago, at 22, I decided I no longer wanted

Contraceptive Coil
Hi, I have stage 4 endometriosis and It has been suggested that I have the coil fitted. I have heard nothing but bad things about having a coil. I was wondering if anyone else has any opinions on if a coil is bad or ok?

Hormones affecting vaginal dryness
Hi I’ve been on microgynon for a year and it’s made me really dry and loss of libido, my gp changed me to Yasmin and it’s not improved at all.

Depo Contraceptive Injection
I am on month 5 (almost 6!) of the Depo injection and I am having problems with irregular bleeding. My GP has prescribed me 9 continuous weeks of the combined pill which they say will stop the bleeding and I should be fine after that. Has anyone ever been on the injection and taken the combined pill
