It is purely diagnostic and won't be doing any excision so I would need another OP down the line. I've just had a long conversation with my GP who has endo herself. She is very firm on me getting the

Hi I'm new and looking for some insight away from the walls of medics.My story starts 3 years ago, I was bleeding more than I wasn't. I had always had heavy periods since they started and a lot of pain and anaemia more often than not, but thought it was normal (I'm 46 now). After having 2 children I

Hysterectomy at 40 no endometriosis
I had my hysterectomy 2 days ago and although I am in pain I'm feeling relieved 😌. My consultant has told me he has found no signs of endometriosis and that my uterus was severely scarred from my 3 c-sections and my coil that had been embedded in my uterus. My bladder was stuck to my uterus and that

I went on the pill to help with pain, this worked until I was around 17. The pain got worse, I was throwing up and missing work due to

MRI Result: Ovary Stuck to Womb yet gynaecologist says "no active endo"?
Hi everyone, It's been over one month since I was emailed my MRI results. I have yet to speak to my gynecologist to discuss them in depth. I waited a month to speak to my GP and she couldn't answer a single question. I am losing my mind. If anyone can shed any light on the results that would be so

Hormones - coil and patch
Has anyone been told to try the coil and the patch. I’m really struggling with endo pains three years after excision surgery and have a mirena coil fitted but have been told to try the patch as well to shut my cycle down. I really had having all these hormones put in my body and worried about the side

Employer not being supportive about endometriosis / invasion of privacy
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to approach having an employer who is not supportive of endometriosis / treatment, and consistently asking for a lot of detailed medical information? I’m 29, diagnosed with endo at 25. I had a surgery almost immediately after being diagnosed

Stopping Cerazette
First time poster, but I’ve taken many tips from this board so thank you all in advance. 2 years ago I doubled over in agony, eventually got sent to A&E via my GP with suspected appendicitis. Wasn’t appendicitis, it was a haemorrhaging ovarian cyst. Sent home with painkillers, had a couple of scans and

After diagnostic laparoscopy
Hi, I had my laparoscopy 5 weeks ago and have been diagnosed with endo (12 years in the making!!). They inserted a coil at the same time as this. Since then my symptoms and pain have become 10x worse. Has anyone had this? Not sure if it is my body getting used to the coil. But I have been in so

What to expect at my next appointment?
So I had my first appointment with a nurse at my GP surgery yesterday and hallelujah someone's actually listened to me! She has referred me to gynaecology. She's told me they might do a scan but will probably tell me to go on the coil as the only treatment I'll be offered is hormonal because of my age

Post op advice
I'm 2 weeks post laparoscopy and I'm struggling quite a bit with feeling generally overwhelmed with everything. I initially went in thinking I had endo in 3 main areas, but my operation ended up being 2.5 hours longer than originally estimated and ended up having the following removed: - 4cm cysts -

Missed miscarriage and endo
Hi warriors, Just wanted to share my story, because I feel so low and heartbroken, and I'm sure there are women here who can relate to my experience. The loss that comes with a miscarriage is hard enough, but then when I also have endo, it's that sinking feeling that my womb is just broken and it's
