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.

dineogest & mirena coil
I’m in a bit of a predicament & I understand asking for advice on here isn’t exactly medical professionals but hoping to hear other’s experiences to help give me the answers. I’ve been diagnosed with stage 4 endo for 5 years, after a long journey I managed to conceive my daughter - pregnancy definitely

Gabapentin pharmacy change
is it possible that the same medication received from two different providers would not be the same? I have recently returned from a 3 month stay in the southern United States and received my 300 mg Gabapentin from a provider there. I have now returned north and requested a script sent to my usual provider

Hydroxycarbanide
My husband takes 2 hydroxycarbanide Mon to Fri. We don’t need contraception. Just wondering do we still need to use condoms. What are the consequences if we don’t?

Pain outside period back again, 4th month on BC
It’s the 4th month I’ve been on the birth control patch, I’ve been doing the 3 weeks on, one week off like my gp told me I had to do. The third month it finally started helping and I wasn’t getting pain outside my period and on my period the pain didn’t get worse until later in the day on the first day

pregnancy update
On Tuesday I was told that my pregnancy is a miscarriage. I chose to let my body naturally expel the pregnancy tissue nothing has happened yet. I was upset when I found out but since I'm not married and I've only been dating my partner for six months I've been coping okay. I ordered a script for birth

Not sure of next steps after recent endometriosis diagnosis
Hi, I have suffered with heavy periods and pain during sex for years but I was told it was due to fibroids. In December 2020 I had emergency surgery to for a ruptured ovarian cyst. They had to remove my ovary as it was too damaged. Last October I started getting a dull ache down the left side of stomach

Dealing with endo after children in late thirties
hi there I’m 37 and had two children via IVF when I was 33 and 35. I have stage 4 recto vaginal endometriosis and had a bowel resection and temporary stoma when I was 31 before starting IVF. Now I’m finished having children, I’ve gone back on the pill and run it back to back to prevent periods. I’m

Si Joint/back pain
Hi I have a history of back pain and endometriosis. I recently turned 50 and leading up to my period my si joint pain has suddenly got worse and it all goes into spasms and I literally can't do a lot. It's not great the rest of the month either. I had linked it to the menopause or back issues but

Laparoscopy
Hi, Cut a long story short - I need some help I have being experiencing pain with my lower abdomen and pelvic pains leading up to my period since coming off the pill a year and half later and finally got referred to a gynaecologist. I’ve had a MRI and they said they couldn’t see much evidence of endometriosis

Dry Skin & Combined Pill
hello I am wondering if I am experiencing severe dry skin (only on the face) due to my contraceptive pill. I take femodene and have done for years. Over the last 5 my skin has gotten significantly drier and flares up badly, red, itchy, intense dryness. I am otherwise healthy (optimal thyroid, but

unsuccessful Laparoscopy
Hello, this is my first time posting so please bear with me! I have been struggling with symptoms of endometriosis since I could remember. I started my period at around 9 and I would say from 13+ my periods had been extremely painful, heavy, putting pressure on my bowels, mood swings etc (the list really

Thyroid Results
Curious…aside from high in range TSH are these frees pretty euthyroid? These were taken before starting thyroid medication. Negative for both antibodies. I’m coming around to the idea that I’ve been misdiagnosed as thyroid medication makes me feel worse. Off meds my TSH can vary from 8-4 within

hysteroscopy or not?
I am hoping to have donor egg IVF in Spain soon but my treatment has been delayed as in the mock cycle the clinic do in order to make sure your medication is correct for the real thing my lining never reached more than 5mm. They tried 2 times with up to 8mg of progynova but no success. They recommended

periods on mirena but no pain
I’ve had 2 laps for endo, have tri cycled the pill and been on tablets such as naproxen. Ive been so luckily that having the coil fitted during my 2nd lap has majorly improved pain and quality of life. I’ve had it for a year and bit and I’m on my 5th period. My dilemma is it’s pain free but how much

Anyone here who never started their periods?
I’m 32 and never had a natural period and didnt establish any periods at all as a teen. I’ve been on and off the pill for years and my physical health declines in a scary way off the contraceptive pill. This has all been brushed aside as ‘normal’ and blamed on PCOS but it feels like there’s something
