Finished combined pill pack early - is this risky?
Hi, I’ve been super busy at work and must have missed the occasional pill from my 21 day pill packet last month (never missed more than 2 pill and I think only happened twice), but 4 days before I was due to finish the pack I started bleeding so I decided to just finished my pack then and allow my 7

New here: Help with interpreting results pls
Hi everyone, I'm new here and I am wondering if anyone could help me interpret my latest results. I had a test done with Thriva earlier this week and GP is unwilling to help me. I saw a private endocrinologist who dismissed my symptoms in October and November, saying that I'm not ill enough to be treated

Thyroid change since stopping contraceptive pill
Hi everyone. Something interesting has happened to me. Brief background. 7 years ago I started losing a bit of weight and felt hot all the time then developed a swelling in my neck that made swallowing uncomfortable. GP took bloods and my T4 was at the top of the normal range and TSH was less that

Has anybody found their endo symptoms eased after coming off contraception?
Hi, I’m new to the forum. I spoke to my doctor today and have decided to come off my contraceptive pills as none of them have helped my period / endo pain. Has anybody come off their pill and found that their endo symptoms eased slightly? I’m a bit worried in case it doesn’t help, but I would rather

Literally loosing my mind, need to connect with others to feel slightly normal..
Hi, new here! Found this forum and I have been reading a lot of posts which I can relate to, finally. Here’s a little story of how I came about with discovering I had endo. I’ve never had a regular period, like never. I thought it was normal so didn’t pay much attention to it, plus loved the fact I

Suddenly realised I’m losing my hair - devastated
Got diagnosed with Hashis in June 2020. Thought I’d gotten away without hair loss, but I didn’t realise that my parting getting bigger and bigger and the back of my head hair getting thinner and thinner was hair loss. More fool me. I put a mirror up to the back of my head today and just crumpled. I never

My GP has recommended taking progestogen-only pills to stop constant bleeding caused by progestogen-only implant - how will this help?
Hi everyone, I'm new here and just looking an explanation about something I'm confused about. Back in September, I got a Nexplanon implant, a form of contraception which exclusively releases progestogen. For the last two months I've experienced constant menstrual bleeding (every single day) as a side-effect

Mini pill (pop) and constant bleeding.
Hi everyone! I started taking the mini pill ‘zelleta’ I think it’s called, it’s the cheaper version of cerazette I believe. Basically I started it about 5 weeks ago, and I have experienced constant heavy mensural bleeding for 4 of those weeks. According to my gynae I shouldn’t bleed on it all. The reason

Mid cycle cramping normal when on the combined pill?
Hi, is it normal to experience cramping mid cycle when you're on the combined pill? The reason I ask is because I am waiting for results of a MRI to establish if the cyst in my right ovary is cancerous. The ovary is currently cramping, not too painfully but consistently all day. My understanding is that

Any pill recommendations instead of Provera?
My daughter has suspected endo and has been admitted to hospital recently with the extreme pain. The doctor prescribed Microgynon but not long afterwards she had breakthrough bleeding despite taking the pill continually without a break. After 34 days of bleeding she was prescribed Norethisterone which

Anyone taken indometacin for Endo?
Hi, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo 2 years ago and had a laparoscopy to excuse the endo they could. Since then I have been on the combined pill and just taking cocodamol and naproxen for the pain while on my period. My latest period has been unbearable struggling to walk or sit up without being in

Spotting on Mini Pill (Cerazette)
Please help I had never taken any form of contraceptive pill until 4 months ago so all this is very new to me. 4 days after starting my new pack of Cerazette I started to have a brown discharge bleed as period was already late, I am not pregnant as pregnancy test was done several times and was negative

Is it worth pushing for an endo diagnosis (your opinions, please)
I wont waffle, put I just don't know what to do. I've had enough of being ignored/ not listened to by doctors. I've seen a gynaecologist and had an ultrasound. There was nothing to worry about from those, and everyone is just telling me to go on the pill or coil. Should I? My symptoms seem to be unimportant
