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.

Contraception as a 'treatment
Hi! After ten years of being ignored and dismissed by doctors, i was finally permitted to have a laparoscopy and was officially diagnosed with endometriosis in March of this year. Apparently the endo was removed, but unfortunately has not made any difference to my pain. My consultant basically told

Endometriosis and the Kyleena IUD
Hi all, Just after some experiences please. I went to my GP to ask for a hysterectomy due to my increased symptoms of endo that I've had since I was 11 (I'm now 36). I have been absolutely blessed with having a child of my own and have now got to the stage in my life where child 2 isn't on the cards

Bowel Endometriosis ?
Hey, so I'm a little confused and looking for advice! I was referred for a Laparoscopy 2 years ago with my main concern being ongoing issues with my bowels which are taking over my life. I of course had the typical period problems too before being put on contraception which stopped them completely..

Waiting for envaginal echo for diagnosis, weight and period problem
Hi. I always tought there's something wrong with my period, with my weight and other thing. But i was really shy and never ask question in years. Is it normal for you to have difficulty to loose weight? I cannot exercise like before because of arthritis but i was a carpenter working 40 hours a week.

Should I take pill after endometriosis surgery?
I was diagnosed with endometriosis and I had surgery last year. I had excisions with ablation. Doctor didn't prescribed anything later on. My follow up appointment has been cancelled many times. I had my first appointment only after 5 months. That appointment wasn't even long enough,it's seemed she wanted

POP breakthrough bleeding
Hi everyone. I've been put on the progesterone only pill by my gynae to see if it helps my symptoms (still not actually diagnosed with endo). I'm only nine days into taking the pill. I know it takes a while for your body to adjust and that breakthrough bleeding is common, but right now it's like I've

Hi. I'm 37 years old and i never ask in my life question about what normal or not. In high school (girl school) i always wonder how the other girls new when their period start. When mine began, i start gaining weight super fast and my breast grow too quickly so i got extra loose skin to live with and

struggling to get diagnosed
Since I was 13 I have been dealing with significant pain in my lower abdomen and back, particularly during my menstrual cycle. The intensity of the pain has been increasing, to the point where it is impacting my ability to carry out normal daily activities some days. Additionally, I have been experiencing

WORSE BP MEDS EVER (AMLODIPINE)
Hope I have enough room to write this. My wife and I both took amlodipine 5 mg. I was on it for about 10 years and my wife for 5 years. My wife was having all kinds of problems and I didn't think I had any. Well boy was I wrong. When she quit taking it the withdrawals she had made me quit also. I figured

Weight Gain, Lap nerves & hormone medication after pill/coil?
Hi all, This is my first post and it's so comforting to read others stories/experiences who are going through the same things as me! I have a couple of questions if people wouldn't mind sharing- I was on the waiting list for 2 years and I saw a consultant last week who said it was possible endometriosis

Radio silence
Hi all, has anyone had any experience with chasing their gynaecology department after not hearing from them? The gynaecologist I spoke to on the phone in Feb 2023 said they would be in touch in 1 year to review the pill I'm on, but I haven't had any correspondence from them and it's been over a year.
