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.

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

Then it finally stopped for a week but today it’s started again and I have terrible back pain again and bloating

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

Hello, I had a laparoscopy just over 4 weeks ago & had endometriosis removed from both ovaries.

Focalin comedown
My son (11) has been on Focalin XR for about 2 months (5mg the first month - no effect, and now 10mg). We've noticed that around 7pm, he often can get super down and sad. It's not every night, but it's at least a couple times a week. Sometimes he can identify something bothering him, but other times

Excessive Bleeding Experiences
Hello,I was wondering if anyone out there had a similar experience to me recently. I have been bleeding for 4 months non stop. It's not painful, the blood used to be a mix of old and fresh, recently it has been very bright and fresh. I first saw a nurse who was amazing- she did a general blood test
