Experiences with

Menstrual problems

Hello all I’ve just had my second laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. First was 15 years ago and said mild endometriosis. This one found significant moderate-severe endometriosis in 3 different locations which they’ve removed (unsure if they feel they got it all). I’ve also had a scan showing adenomyosis

Hi all, I had my first gynaecology appointment today after experiencing endometriosis symptoms (specifically rectal bleeding during period and intense pelvic, back and leg pain especially related to bowel movements). The gynaecologist said its highly likely to be endo on bowel (mum has this too).

Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Endometriosis, tissues on Uterus and have an ovarian cyst . The cyst was found during an ultra sound last year but the endometriosis tissues more recently following going private and seeing an gynaecologist , and a mri scan. she has recommended either going on

Does anyone here have a 2 day period and gone on to have a successful ivf pregnancy? Was it a medicated or natural transfer? I’m planned to have a natural modified transfer but my acupuncturist was surprised I wasn’t on oestrogen as she thought it may explain my short periods. I also always spot before

does any one take the combined pill at 47 , I was on mini pill but constant bleeding , so doctor said to try microgon 30 , just wanted reviews from older women

hello ladies… Just wondered if anyone had late periods following retrieval? I had my withdrawal bleed not long after but I’m now on day 42 waiting for my period. Just wondered if this was normal? We unfortunately didn’t have any eggs that fertilised so are planning on going again at th end of

hello everyone, so in September after my egg collection we collected 2 mature eggs which both failed to fertilise. After 2 weeks we had a withdrawal bleed. Now waiting for my next period to start before next cycle of icsi. On day 37 of this cycle and still no period- is this normal? Has anyone else

Hi guys! I would really appreciate some advice. I gave birth in January 2024. I know he’s my last baby so I wanted to get on a form of contraception that is long lasting that I do not have to think about. I was going back and forth between the hormonal coil and the copper coil. I had read that the copper

Hi everyone,Hope you're all as well as you can be. I'm wondering what people's experiences have been with the length of your menstrual cycle post unsuccessful fresh transfer? In September, we had a fresh IVF cycle which unfortunately didn't work for us. I had my period on the day that I would have expected

Hello, I'm doing long protocol IVF, I injected prosap on cycle day 21 and my baseline scan is on Monday (in 3 days from now). It advised on the paperwork that my period might be delayed by 7 to 10days due to the prostap but no sign of my period at all. I'm worried about going for baseline scan as my

I've had PCOS since my early 20s (about 10 years ago). I have cysts and irregular periods but low/normal testosterone levels. For the last year, I have been without my Mirena coil and tracking my periods on an app. Last month, my husband and I have started to try and conceive. My normal cycle is around

I've been experiencing very painful periods and heavy bleeding since I was 9. Since those who have endometriosis are minority group here, so there aren't many doctors that specialise in endometriosis. I've been going through harsh judgement even from my doctors that I'm seeing at gynae. Telling me off

hey everyone I have been suffering with pain for a long time now. And it’s starting to mentally affect me as not much has been done. I used to have really painful periods at school (which at the time I thought was normal and everyone had that ) so I kept quiet but it would always result in me being

hey guys, So for the past 6 months or more I’ve been having a lot of pain during sex as well I’ve been having extreme pain and spotting after, lately I’ve started to be in a lot of pain after and it makes me start my “period” (heavy bleeding and a lot of pain) which is not typical for my periods.

Hi everyone I have a very large fibroid (20cm!) which I am awaiting surgery for. I started Prostap in June. I had quite a bit of initial bleeding (which I was warned about) and then by start of August it all settled. I had my next 3 month injection in September and have had no bleeding, until now

Would the combined pill, specifically microgynon 30, work just as well as the Mirena coil in slowing tissue growth/ lessening symptoms? The Mirena coil was recommended to me but I've been undecided for months due to concerns over my mental health. Today I had an appointment to go and get the coil fitted

Hello, I am looking for some advice on how to manage post periods, and maybe any idea on when they would settle down. For context, I had my dx laparoscopy whilst on the last day of my period. It didn't seem to affect the timing of my cycle at all as 26 days later I had my first post-op period.

2022 multiple blood tests as primarily for fatigue. Also heavy painful periods. ultrasound didn't show any issue. 2023 Jan Coil fitted. Periods were increasingly painful and although lighter lasted longer so I was bleeding most days. 2023 Sept. GP suggested Endometriosis and Mini pill prescribed to

So I thought I had a positive ovulation test but turns out a flashing smiley just means increased estrogen, and that ovulation should be due to happen soon (Apparently 🤷‍♀️). I have my day 21 progesterone test on Friday from my clomid cycle this month, and I'm still getting the flashing smiley face
