Exhaustion after Laparoscopy
Hello, I am 2 weeks post laparoscopy which found and removed endometriosis. I've healed externally and pain is manageable without many drugs but I am still suffering from exhaustion. I'm trying to push myself to do things like food shopping and school run, but often I have to sleep for 2 or 3 hours in

Ivf after laparoscopy
Hi, I'm starting ivf stims and had a laparoscopy for stage 4 endo about 6 weeks ago. I'm in so much pain but can't tell if it's the injections to stimulate the ovaries or if its 'just' my period and sore from surgery still. Hoping things get easier but I'm on 7th day of period and been in agony.

Does your endo come back with different symptoms to before?
I was diagnosed with endo in 2019 during a laparoscopy. I never had painful or heavy periods but did have deep nagging pelvic and lower back pain. The endo was removed by excision and I've been fine ever since. Lately, at any point during my cycle I am getting a similar deep nagging pain again which

How to confirm I have endometriosis?
I have a cyst in my both ovaries. After a number of tests including CA 125 and series of Ultrasound and antibiotics, the doctors diagnosed that I have endometriosis and straight away suggested that I should go for surgery and get my both ovaries removed for which I am not ready at all. Also I am really

Periods returning?
Hi. I have been on 2 different GNRH analogues for 2.5 years ish. I have decided to come off the injections as I can no longer tolerate the side effects. Especially joint pains. How long does it take for your periods to return? Will they be as bad as before? Thanks

Started my period!!!?
Hey Ladies! So I’ve been on the progesterone only pill a little over a month ago, and I take it without breaks. I’ve mapped out my cycles in the past, and this is exactly when I was supposed to start this month.Symptoms are similar to period and bleeding is dark/heavy. Is this normal???

Is Laparoscopy worth it based on my symptoms?
Hi Ladies, My backstory is I came off Microgynon contraceptive pill a couple of years to regulate hormones before trying to conceive. Since coming off pill my periods have not been fun at all and symptoms seem to have gotten worse. Me and my husband have been ttc for 7 months which is not a very long

Possible endo/rejected referrals
Hi everyone. I'm new here but wondered whether anyone has had a similar experience to me. A few years ago I was on the contraceptive pill, when I noticed that my periods were getting later and later. I used to get the normal bleed during the seven day break of not taking the pill, but then I started

Pain relief: First period after lap
Hi what pain relief is good please. First period after lap and the usual ibuprofen and tranexamic acid ain't cutting it. Tried mefanamic acid too but previously didn't find it an improvement on the ibuprofen. Any advice greatly appreciated

Has anyone had a period longer than 7 days? 🤔
Hello everyone, Keen to know your thoughts on this as I await a GP appointment. A quick backstory: I’m 26 years old and have PCOS. From aged 15 to 20/21. I was on the pill to regulate a period since I’d never had one ever before. Since stopping I’ve had a period 16 times, so that’s 16 times since
