Best hormonal contraceptive pill?
Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with PCOS (im 23 years old) and am wondering if there's a contraceptive pill that people have found works best if you have PCOS as well as managing acne? I'm worried about the pill contributing to weight gain and making my bowel issues worse. I would really appreciate

irregular bleeding post laparoscopy
Hi everyone. Just wondering what everyone’s periods/bleeding after op was like? I’m just over 6 weeks post op after endo removal on both ovaries & left pod. Surgeon said it was stage 2 endo. Everything else was fine. Tubes good, etc. I have had irregular bleeding for the last 2 weeks & awful cramps.

Struggling with feeling like I’m “overreacting” whilst pushing for a diagnosis?
Hi, this is my first post! I’d be grateful for any advice or experiences that may help. I’ve been going to the doctor with my symptoms for six years now (I’m 22) and, although I haven’t been officially diagnosed with endo, a doctor told me last year during an internal ultrasound that he would be surprised

Thoughts please!
I am still struggling terribly to tolerate any doseage of levo or lio - combo or mono. It makes me feel even worse/is completely debilitating. I have tried changing when I take the doses, the brand etc you name it and still no better. It’s notable that my blood pressure gets too low on it too. Am I

Hello all, it’s me again… I’m wondering if anyone can help/provide advice with the contraceptive treatment I’m currently having issue with. Previously I was taking desogestrel back to back no break to stop ovulation. To say this didn’t agree with me would be an understatement, I bled every day and

menstruation after bilateral oophorectomy
Hi, I'm really hoping to open a big list of answers, but I'm stumped. In 2020 I had surgery and both ovaries were removed since they were necrotic. I never really knew what happened because you hadn't even started a sexual life and it turns out that they were infected by a sexually transmitted infection

Diagnosed with new non-invasive procedure: Relieved but I feel emotional
I have now been formally diagnosed- I scored 0.90008 out of 1 on my test which means I have a very high After many Gp visits, countless prescriptions of high painkillers, doctors saying it is period pain (no 💩) and my referral pushed for key hole …. I finally have an answer and closer to some physical

Had enough - NHS and severe pain
Hey everyone, long time no post! I am really struggling at the minute as my pain and symptoms are getting worse by the day and I still haven't been given any indication of a date for my excision surgery even though they told me on 1st December it would be less than 6 months (I know it hasn't been 6

non hormonal suggestions
hi! I was diagnosed with endo in 2019, avoided any hormonal treatment until last year due to past experiences of the pill. March last yr I went for a private fertility check and they said my endo looked worse and was now also adenomyosis. Suggestion was a mirena coil to stop periods. I went for

Hi so my story to date, I have had ovarian cysts every 6 to 12 months for about 12 years. Everytime intense pain, bleeding, few ruptures requiring surgery over the years. Repeatedly told I'm young (I am now 31) and people can have constant cysts but no further investigation offered as to why apart from

Combined pill, mini pill or alternatives?
Hey so I'm almost 40, I have had three previous laps to excise stage 4 endometriosis from my bladder, uterus and bowel. Been through 2 failed IVFs then had our little girl on the 3rd round via c-section. Now recovering about 10 weeks. Discussed endometriosis returning with GP and they have put me on

menopause/Desogestrel
ok, this feels like - probably is - a stupid question but… one of the options I have been given for diagnosed deep endo is Desogestrel to hopefully stop monthly heavy periods. I am wary firstly because the pill has not treated me well in the past, but also as a woman well into perimenopause - how would

How to get out of AF advice please

Am I right to suspect endometriosis and ask to see a private specialist?
I’m worrying I was wrong, asking to see an endometriosis specialist. What if I’m being dramatic or I’m just really sensitive to completely normal period pain. I have to take naproxen on the first day of my period cause when I used to not take it, my pain would get severe and I kept vomiting or feeling

Just wondered if anyone has had the impact of the merina coil on their mental health confirmed? Had one fitted to help with endo pain. prev had issues with taking the pill due to affect on my mental health. I'm now thinking merina maybe affecting me also. Not sure if I need to stick it out longer
