Advice request - going in circles with doctors
They've tried me on the pill, the minipill and most recently the
contraceptive
injection
. I had high hopes for the latter as things got quiet for a while, but I've just had a period that lasted 54 days.

Prostap injections and bleeding
I’m planning to go on the
contraceptive
injection
in October when the prostap has cleared my system but I’m just worried that maybe it’s stopped working on me and I should get the depo injection sooner. if anyone has any advice or can relate I’d be so grateful for any suggestions!

should I seek a third opinion about endo/adeno diagnosis?
I started trying to get help at 15, and have been through the usual rigmarole of trying different
contraceptive
pills, implant,
injection
, coil to suppress symptoms.

partial blindness, tremors and migraines from the mini pill
As the title says. 90% of the above symptoms stopped when I stopped using the pill in question. So, for those of you who are predisposed to migraines, what pills have you been able to tolerate better?

Periods after surgery
Hi ladies, I had surgery in September to remove chocolate cysts and endo tissue but for various reasons they didn’t remove all the endo. Before my surgery, my periods were regular – every for weeks. But afterwards the surgeon wanted to stop them to help with the endo and try to prevent future cysts

What contraception with endo
Hello, A couple of years ago I had a laparoscopy which confirmed my endometriosis diagnosis. At the time I’d had my mirena coil for about 3 years. The coil has worked wonders in reducing some of the symptoms from my endo and the surgeon told me that they’d recommend me keeping the coil in order

prednisolone interacting with contraceptives..? Is this a thing?
hello everyone. It’s been a long time since I posted on here but was just wondering if this is something that anyone anywhere has heard of or experienced? I’ve been taking 6mg of prednisone a day for over 5 years now. This is the absolute lowest dose I can stay at, any lower and I am so unwell I’

Best hormonal contraceptive pill?
Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with PCOS (im 23 years old) and am wondering if there's a contraceptive pill that people have found works best if you have PCOS as well as managing acne? I'm worried about the pill contributing to weight gain and making my bowel issues worse. I would really appreciate

irregular bleeding post laparoscopy
Hi everyone. Just wondering what everyone’s periods/bleeding after op was like? I’m just over 6 weeks post op after endo removal on both ovaries & left pod. Surgeon said it was stage 2 endo.

Struggling with feeling like I’m “overreacting” whilst pushing for a diagnosis?
Hi, this is my first post! I’d be grateful for any advice or experiences that may help. I’ve been going to the doctor with my symptoms for six years now (I’m 22) and, although I haven’t been officially diagnosed with endo, a doctor told me last year during an internal ultrasound that he would be surprised

Thoughts please!
I am still struggling terribly to tolerate any doseage of levo or lio - combo or mono. It makes me feel even worse/is completely debilitating. I have tried changing when I take the doses, the brand etc you name it and still no better. It’s notable that my blood pressure gets too low on it too. Am I

Hello all, it’s me again… I’m wondering if anyone can help/provide advice with the contraceptive treatment I’m currently having issue with. Previously I was taking desogestrel back to back no break to stop ovulation. To say this didn’t agree with me would be an understatement, I bled every day and

menstruation after bilateral oophorectomy
Hi, I'm really hoping to open a big list of answers, but I'm stumped. In 2020 I had surgery and both ovaries were removed since they were necrotic. I never really knew what happened because you hadn't even started a sexual life and it turns out that they were infected by a sexually transmitted infection

non hormonal suggestions
hi! I was diagnosed with endo in 2019, avoided any hormonal treatment until last year due to past experiences of the pill. March last yr I went for a private fertility check and they said my endo looked worse and was now also adenomyosis. Suggestion was a mirena coil to stop periods. I went for
