Echocardiogram
No results though as its my 1st since having an
ICD
fitted. I am disappointed and relieved at the same time! My husband is super and my absolute rock. He is sure my heart is getting stronger because I am not sleeping so much in the day, so thats enough for me!

unhelpful consultation
hi everyone. I’ve never posted before, but I am very upset following a consultation with somebody who will be doing my laparoscopy. I’ve have suspected endo and confirmed cysts, lots of pain etc. I didn’t know I had cysts until an emergency hospital visit because I was in horrific pain, shaking and

Bleeding for Months Straight
So, I have a diagnosis of PCOS. In 2021 I was told I had deep pelvic endometriosis aswell. Following a recent MRI I had in June, I was told they couldn’t see endometriosis but I definitely still had PCOS, so they undiagnosed me or passed it off as the scan type. This was really frustrating and reverse

Endo & Adeno Post Op Pain
Hi all, I’m 7 weeks post op and still experiencing all the pain I had before. Endo has been excised from pelvic walls, ligaments and ovary detached from uterus/bowel. I assumed my daily pain/pain down legs and lower back was all due to Endo but I also have Adeno and didn’t really take this into account

Hypothyroid and Birth control
Anyone had any luck with hormonal BC whilst managing their thyroid? I have had my thyroid managed for years with the help of my dr. She has advised only non hormonal options for BC which I’ve followed for years. Recently I got a copper IUD placed and had serious issues and had to get it removed

Feeling lost and confused
I'm not sure what I'm hoping to gain from this post other than to maybe speak to people who understand what this is like. So far I manage pain with a tens machine and painkillers but things are getting worse. I have pain most days, it's worse after sex and I'm now spotting after sex. A few months

Coil for endo
I am currently going through the peri-menopause. My GP has strongly advised to have a coil fitted to fix my irregular heavy menstruation. Once this has been rectified I can have HRT that i desperately need. As a 49year old with no children I didn't want the coil fitted as I have heard horror stories

4 months after laparoscopy pain comes back
hi all, it's my first post here... i had a laparoscopy in April, stage 2 endometriosis, couple of cysts (one excised, one drained). I had the hormonal Mirena coil inserted during the surgery as I was told this is the best solution to prevent endo from coming back. First two months were full of spotting

Should I expect a face to face follow up after lap surgery?
on the 17th of May I had diagnostic lap surgery. When I came round, the constant that performed the op came and showed me some pictures and chatted to me v briefly. I cannot remember much of the conversation. I was given a discharge letter that listed many issues (stage 4 endo) and a list of things that
