My story.

For the past year now, I have noticed some changes in my menstrual cycle. For the first 1-3 days of my cycle I would get so bloated to the point that it effected how I lived my life. It made me feel so sick and weak. I also would get occasional diarrhea with my period. Then in September of this year (2013) I was laying in my bed one night and all of a sudden got a sharp stabbing pain in my left lower abdomen. It hurt so bad that I almost broke down and went to the ER. I waited till the next morning and called my gynecologist right away. When I went to see her, she told me that I had a cyst that should go away in 4-8 weeks. She ordered a couple of ultrasounds that I had done six weeks later. When I got the results,(in the middle of November) she told me that I had endometriosis. She prescribed the BC pill Tri Sprintec. It made me really sick. Now I'm about to try Nuvaring and really worried about the effects it will have on my body. When I go back to my Dr. again I'm going to ask about a hysterectomy.
