Experiences with

Contraceptive injection

They've tried me on the pill, the minipill and most recently the contraceptive injection. I had high hopes for the latter as things got quiet for a while, but I've just had a period that lasted 54 days.

I need an injection, contraceptive pills won't be enough for me. I'd get those injections until i died even if they made me obese. I want to tell my doctor this next time i see her. I'll tell her: I'm not planning to have children. Make my hairs disappear. I may go bald, i dont care.

I’m currently going through further diagnosis, I have been put on a variety of different medications, had multiple scans etc as of current. My doctors are trying to push the idea of switching my implant to the mirena coil (I’ve heard very mixed opinions on this birth control). I have already tried the

I was diagnosed in my early 20s after my second laparoscopy. I had surgery around 19/20 yrs old looking for Endo and they found cysts on my ovaries.

I'm having a polyp removal by hysteroscopy and a diagnostic laparoscopy in two days and I've just started bleeding. I'm on the pill, so I'm guessing it's breakthrough bleeding.

My husband is going to begin taking Orgovyx. He takes high blood medication, both Amlodipine and Metoprolol. He takes them each at approx 830 am each morning. We have asked his doctors if he should space out his blood pressure meds and the Orgovyx, but the doctors don’t seem to have an opinion on that

Anyone else had moments where you become overwhelmed with the strict regiment of medication that if you mess up just once, it could be terminal?

Whilst waiting to see Gynae, I've been started on progesterone tablets. I've been on then for a month and have started experiencing inflamed gums/ teeth.

Hi all, I recently posted regarding new pains, and have undergone an ultra sound which only found a small cyst, blood tests including a ca-125 which was slightly raised. I was put on an urgent cancer pathway for ovarian cancer, and saw a gynaecologist today. He basically ignored all I had to say and
