So I have been suffering with Endometriosis for the last 21 years now! I hadn’t been diagnosed 21 years ago though, more like 14 years ago!

hello, I’m wondering if anyone else has had issues with the injection?

Hi Everyone, I have been waiting for a second opinion gynae appointment for 6 months after being diagnosed with deep endo through an MRI. The previous gynaecologist didn’t seem to take it too seriously and just told me to get the coil and discharged me back to my gp. Since then I’ve been in more and
