Advice request - going in circles with doctors
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.

Prostap injections and bleeding
I’m planning to go on the
contraceptive
injection
in October when the prostap has cleared my system but I’m just worried that maybe it’s stopped working on me and I should get the depo injection sooner. if anyone has any advice or can relate I’d be so grateful for any suggestions!

should I seek a third opinion about endo/adeno diagnosis?
I started trying to get help at 15, and have been through the usual rigmarole of trying different
contraceptive
pills, implant,
injection
, coil to suppress symptoms.

Ongoing Care
Hi all, Hope you’re all having a pain free day! I received good news today, three weeks post lap, biopsies confirmed endo and nothing sinister. Isn’t it strange considering the diagnosis good news - it is though after years of ‘there’s nothing wrong’. I’ve now been discharged back to the care of

Possible Hysterectomy at 42 as feel everything else hadn’t worked
My first time posting and really sorry for the long post. I have been struggling for the last 13 years, I’ve lost all of my thirties to pain and discomfort. My first laparoscopy and helium beam treatment back in 2011 they detected peritoneal pocketing found in the left uteri- sacral ligament and left

endo experiences
hi everyone, I’ve recently had multiple healthcare & gynae professionals suggest that I probably have a mild form of endometriosis, and am wondering if anyone has the same experiences as me who could offer some advice on management etc? I had run 2 packs of the combined contraceptive pill together

completely numb and don’t know what to do - heartbeat stopped
I can’t believe I’m writing this, I thought I’d be telling my family good news today instead. I went for a scan at 7+4 and the baby had no heartbeat and stopped growing at 7 weeks. I have only 2 really low grade embryos frozen and would like to transfer as soon as I can. I’m not expecting them to work

Nexplanon
I’ve had the insertion for about 4 years now and I’ve had my ups and downs with it. For starters I don’t have a period for months. But when I do I’ll bleed for weeks. Currently it’s been months without me bleeding and no complaints but at the same time I feel like it’s made me gain weight / prevent me

Gaslighting and downplay of symptoms?
Long story short in December 2023 i was put on a waiting list for a gyno appointment for the possibility of having endometriosis. I just had my appointment today (11/08/24).

palpitations- synthroid 50 mcg
i have been on 50 mcg synthroid for 3 months, been getting morning palpitations after i take my am dose. Would cutting down the dose, taking it twice a day( cut the pill in half) or taking it at night instead of morning help. Bloodwork is in range & i feel fine otherwise. Thanks

How to feel after diagnosis?
I started with endo symptoms in 2020, in 2022 I finally had a laparoscopy to diagnose me with endometriosis. Since then my specialist told me it’s a mild case etc and apart from going onto the pill it was just using pain management. The pain got gradually worse and my specialist gaslit me into thinking

Total vs Free T4 and T3 tests
A regular question is whether we should test Free T4 and/or T3, or Total T4 and/or T3. I was reading the current prescribing information for Armour Thyroid (in the USA) and noticed this issue is actually addressed: [i]Changes in TBg concentration should be taken into consideration in the interpretation

Wait list from referral
Hey :)I just want some empathy I think! I got my referral to speak to a gynae (so I'm not even sure if they're an endo specialist yet!) About 6 weeks ago. I chased up with my doctors as I hadn't even heard if the referral had been received. I've been told the wait list for the initial consultation is

Dienogest side effects
Hello, I started dienogest nearly 4 weeks ago and up until last week I had very few side effects. I started taking it about 10 days into my cycle. I started bleeding a week ago (around when my period would’ve been) and it’s not stopped, usually my periods are 4/5 days long. I had real bad stomach

No treatment
Hi all, I just wonder if there are others there who have gaps in between referral, diagnosis and surgery with no treatment? I stopped taking contraceptives nine months ago due to other health issues without consulting anybody and my main worry now is what if my endo has grown? I haven’t had a lap
