Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
Hey guys,
I went thru a lot of shit a few weeks ago, I was depressed, bleeding like crazy and practically suicidal and crying ALL the time. I took off days of work because the pain was so terrible. I called my doctor crying, I don't have the time to take off work for my periods. I begged him to put me back on Yaz (it was THE only birth control that actually made me feel better). Within a few days, the bleeding stopped, my moods were better, my face was clear and the pain is controlled! He said I could put off surgery since this is working well for me (I also don't have anymore days for vacation/sick to take off so this is a positive for me). I feel SO much better it's crazy. Just now that everyone is like OMG YOU"RE ON YAZ YOURE GONNA DIE that part gets annoying, but the way I'm feeling like an actual person instead of a zombie, I'll take it! I just wanted to post something happy, because I know my last posts have all been pretty negative. However, I do have one question, my boobs have been KILLING me on this birth control, does that eventually go away? I know it's a normal side effect, but good god it's a small price, all things considered. Thoughts? Hope you all are having some relief today too!

As for the boobs...unsure on that one, been pretty lucky and haven't had that side effect. Nah, no relief for me today, but it's ok. Gotta keep positive! :)
