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.

I've been told I am 'too young' for surgery/diagnosis.
Hi girls, I've got 'suspected endometriosis' and would like to clarify some things. I've always had severely painful, heavy, and irregular periods but in the last 2ish years it has got out of control. My 'periods' can last over 60 days (continuously bleeding) and I bleed a lot in between periods to the

Help deciding on treatment
Discovered this forum a month ago and have found it to be a wealth of information, with very educated/informed members. Hoping that you can spread some of your wisdom and help my finalize my decision with treatment. I've posted more details in my profile as well as write ups from MSKCC on my Biopsy

Hormonal medication
Hi all, I’m 29 and had a laparoscopy last July, where they found endo in my womb, ovaries, rectum, pouch of Douglas and somewhere else I am forgetting! After the surgery, they suggested I went on contraception to stop it growing back - since my mum has had breast cancer twice, my options are quite limited

grieving my old life
Hi so today has been a hard morning already. And I just wanna speak to someone who is going through the same sort of situation as me? So I had surgery last April to remove a 9cm endo cyst from my left ovary. Then I was put on the mini pill as the gyni said this would stop the endo from growing. Fast

Finally found some relief for IC
Hi everyone, I’m 48 & was diagnosed with IC & Hunners ulcers after having a bladder lift in 2005 & having the mesh fall apart & get stuck in my pelvic floor wall. The mesh was of course toxic and did a number on my bladder as well. I tried EVERYTHING you could imagine & kept track of when pain would

advice wanted pls!
I’ve suffered with painful periods for years, to the point I’d be on the floor crying in agony etc. I’ve had different medications, contraceptive pills and was finally given depo injections after I turned up to the gp sobbing where I was in so much pain so he referred me to gynae.

Overwhelming fear of death
Hi everyone, I had PP last August out of the blue, and recently had a lot of stress that triggered similar feelings around the fear of death as ones I had with my initial episode. I called the crisis line and was really worried I would relapse. They said it is likely PTSD as it comes up to a year anniversary

Should I reduce my desogestrel dose?
Hi everyone I'm new here, sorry if this seems like a bit of an essay - I am after some advice about desogestrel. I have been on desogestrel for almost 10 months now (8 months at double dose). It's not been an easy ride, constant bleeding everyday (very heavy to start with). Finally at 9 months

Just been diagnosed, unsure of what to do next?
Hello! So I finally had the results from my MRI and it has confirmed endometriosis was found. It was honestly just utter relief. I nearly burst into tears. I have been going backwards and forwards, having test after test, advocating for myself, being gaslit by different gp's, for years and now

75mcg Levothyroxine starter dose?
Hi, 75mcg is what I've been prescribed by the endo. I last took Levothyroxine many years ago for recurrent miscarriage. Have just read the leaflet in the pill packet which says that those over 50 years old should start on 50mcg; I am 53, should I be worried? Thanks!
