My body is not producing any estrogen due to being anorexic and so I was given the HRT estrogen patch(0.075mg)to take away the symptoms of feeling hot and hot flashes and it's

Birth control pill for hot flashes?
Has anyone here ever taken the Birth control pill to get rid of hot flashes and did it work? I have NO estrogen in my body due to being anorexic. So I am taking HRT estrogen patch(0.075mg) right now and it's not working 2and a half weeks in so I am wondering if maybe the birth control pill would work

Seeking Advice on Pill Side Effects with Endometriosis
Hi all, first time posting here. For a bit of context I'm 28 and have had heavy periods/general endometriosis symptoms since I was 12, but only started looking into it medically at the end of last year after some extremely painful uterine cramping and back pain and throwing up blood meant an overnight

contraceptives after lap
I had a laparoscopy around eight weeks ago. The surgeons removed stage 4 endo from various organs including the bowel and got rid of some large ovarian cysts as well. They said after the surgery that they ‘got it all’. They’ve recommended I have a coil or go on the pill after surgery to stop the endo

IBS, possibly menopause, any advice
Hello, I’m looking for any advice if possible, I was diagnosed with IBS over 20 years ago now. I think I had it as a child, it seemed to come about right around the same time I got my periods at 11. Every month I would have horrendously heavy menstrual cycles that were so painful I’d almost pass out

Endo Diagnosis
Hi, I am unsure where to start off trying to get a diagnosis of endometriosis. I've been struggling for about 4 years now and have found out my gran and my mum both have endometriosis with them experiencing the same symptoms. All my symptoms line up with others that have endometriosis as well. My first

new diagnosis
Hey! I have recently had a new endo diagnosis and have so many questions about next steps! It may not be anything anyone can advise on but thought I’d try anyway. I had a transvaginal scan a few months ago and they have said the results are likely in keeping with deep infiltrating endometriosis

Dienogest and letrozole
Hi all, Could I get some advise please. I have been suffering from endometriosis. I had a recent MRI and ultrasound done few weeks back and they found deep infiltrating endometriosis in some areas, around perineum to be exact and a very tiny cyst on my left ovary.

ovarian cysts
hi all, I think the reason for me being in agony pretty much every day is I think I keep having ovarian cysts every month even thought I’m on the pill and the coil … I know most people have no symptoms from this but I’m always in so much pain. Is anyone else dealing with this? If so what is the plan

Prostap
Hi, I was put onto Zoladex a few years ago whilst I waited for my second Lap, I found it worked to manage the pain and to stop the symptoms of Endo. I was recently put onto Prostap whilst I wait for tests on my bowel. I’d been on the pill and this was slowly helping with my periods. But ultimately

GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER, BACK PAIN AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
The title looks a lot, but it's all related. I've been diagnosed with high blood pressure and taking Perindopril 4 mg. About 2 weeks ago. NP has asked me to monitor BP at home. On Tuesday past, BP was 166/106, rhr was 97 (which is not bad for me). I had stopped the med because it was causing stomach

Mirena coil and mood
Hi there,I've searched existing posts and can't find the advice I'm looking for. I wondered if anyone can advise me on the effects on mood of having the mirena coil fitted? I understand the point of it is to reduce bleeding and pain. I'm having laporoscopy in January to remove endometriomas and anything

Feeling hopeless
Hi. First time poster here. I’ve been feeling like I need some additional support from people who understand or can relate to what I’m going through and here seems like a perfect place. Bit of background; I’m 34 F, I’ve had no children and one miscarriage last year. Currently not using any hormonal

Any advice and support for recently diagnosed
Hi all. Appreciate anyone who reads and responds. I recently went to the doctors as my periods started to become less regular and also lighter. I had blood tests which showed my testosterone was slightly high, I was told it was slightly higher than the range they would expect it to be, and from that

Is it all over before I even test?
Hello! I’m looking for some reassurance that my body isn’t completely against me and I’ve ruined our chances of a BFP before we’ve even made it to testing! Long story short, I have suffered from migraines for most of my adult life. They have always been linked to my cycle and they were more frequent

Not coping with pain right now
Had generic painkillers, hot shower while covering on the floor, writing this post in a brief few minutes of moderate pain before the severe pain inevitably comes crashing back. No comfy position. Sweating, feel faint. Pain indescribable. I can’t be on the pill. Prescribed painkillers don’t scratch
