When will the Mirena coil start helping me?
Hi, I had the mirena coil put in about a month ago to help with heavy painful periods. I am currently on my period but I haven't seen much change with the pain or heaviness. It's still early days of having it fitted so I will give it longer to take effect but I'm just wondering if anyone knows how long

Bowel endometriosis? In need of help, advice and your stories...
Hi all, I am wondering what symptoms of bowel endometriosis look like in other people? I find some websites really generic and wondered if symptoms can differ. I highly suspect I may have bowel endometriosis. I had my period at the age of 9 (I'm 25) and since then I have been suffering from intense

what happens at an examination?
I hope this is an okay place to ask this! ever since I got my period (I was about 8) they’ve been heavy, really painful and really irregular but I thought that would change after a few years like they say but I’m now almost 17 and it just seems like it’s gotten worse! My older sister struggles with endometriosis

Sex drive issues
I started getting pains relating to my endo which got really bad a few months into my relationship with my boyfriend. I’d get a stabbing pain during intercourse but it would be ok in certain positions. But ever since this started my sex drive has disappeared completely. I’m only 19 so I’m worried it’

Newbie.
Hi, around 7 years ago I was tested for PCOS because of irregular periods I had a ultrasound and was told no cysts and a blood test which nothing came from. I’m now 23, suffer with severe hair growth on my face, arms, bottom and back. I shave my face daily to keep on top of the growth it really is severe

New to Mini Pill (Cerazette)
I’ve been taking the mini pill for 3 months and have had a cold recently does cold and flu medicine stop the pill from working? I take the mini pill at the same time every day without fail is there a chance I could be pregnant?

Does anyone else’s Endometriosis like to trigger infections?
So, I likely had Endometriosis for years prior to diagnosis, I’d have considered myself healthy, bar the back pain and low level fatigue! My fate changed about 4 years ago where I was diagnosed with non-sti PID, I was poorly, sent for a lap, diagnosis changed to Stage 4 DIE sub cat aggressive Endometriosis

Contraception and Lupus
Hi. Bit of a personal and private post in asking others opinions, but if you don't ask, you won't know. Just wondered if anyone who has SLE has had 'insertion contraceptives' as opposed to the pill and: Are they a good thing? How does it effect your Lupus or you etc..? If so, any advice you would give

Feeling pelvic pain everyday, GP told me looks like endometriosis?
Hi! I am posting here because I'm a bit desperate. I always have had painful periods. I took the contraception pill for 4 years, which helped a lot but I stopped 3 years ago to have a break. My period has been much better since then (some pain, but I could totally handle it) but then during the first

Wiggly and wobbly legs from iron deficiency?
Anyone feel the RLS in their legs and everything, and then when you try to get up and move around you just feel too weak to keep standing? These past 2 days have been bad. I don’t know how to stop the restlessness. I was drifting in and out of sleep at around 11:30 PM, and every time I woke up I’d

What questions to ask my doctor?
Also, at the last appointment, she mentioned changing my contraception from the pill to the
contraceptive
injection or the
implant
and I was just wondering if anyone had any previous experiences with these methods of contraception?

3 months post laparoscopy. Is it normal to still be having these symptoms...?
I've just come across this forum and I am really hopeful you all can help me better understand what is happening as Im beginning to feel rather hopeless about it all... Im 19 years old and I had a laparoscopy 3-4 months ago to diagnose and then to treat moderate to severe endo following years of worsening

Should I be worried about high prolactin?
Around 3/4 months ago I had a blood test after coming off the contraceptive pill. They found my levels of prolactin were really high. I wasn't too bothered at the time because I wasn't experiencing any of the symptoms associated with it. The doctor told me prolactin can be raised in times of stress and

Booked to get a Mirena fitted and am worried - any good news stories?!
Hi everyone, I'm quite new to the endo world and have read so many horror stories that I wondered if any of you have had a positive experience of getting the Mirena fitted. I first went to my GP about 14 months ago (I appreciate this is a quick timescale in the grand scheme of things!) with heavy/late

Progestin only birth control help!!
I started the POP birth control about a month and a half ago. I am home from uni and having regular sex with my boyfriend and wanted a reliable way to prevent pregnancy. However I’ve now been bleeding constantly for 3 weeks, so I’m not having sex, so it feels pointless to be on the pill. Will this even
