- Over the past month or so, I've had a lot more back and hip pain than usual. I've had more and more painful bowel movements, and the past week I've had more sharp endo pain. I'm not terrible, but I'm not sure why my symptoms are increasing. ...
- TMI So I have read that this is a symptom of endo. I have very painful bowel movements and it seems to be getting worse. Occasionally I have pelvic pain with them, but it is more often a deep, inner pain. I feel like a knife is going through me...
- I was at the doctor two weeks ago for a checkup and to check on my cysts. The two big cysts we were worried about were gone. The doctor said I have a tiny simple cyst, but it is so small there is nothing to worry about. I was feeling okay. Flash...
- I've been going out with a guy. We're not exactly "dating" yet, but I don't think we're too far away. I'm not going to share it yet, but I just don't know when something might come up and I want to be ready. When do you tell a guy that you have...
- Ugh...my period came early. I have a date today! Date #2 with a guy who seems really nice. AND my pain seems worse than usual. I hope I can make it through without seeming like something is wrong. I time my periods (with the pill) so I get it...
- What kind of bowel issues do you guys have? I"m not sure how much of it is endo and how much is bowel. I have a lot of pain (both pelvic and inside...kind of rectal I guess) and it can be really hard to go. I have to lean really far back in order...
- I'm just confused. I was diagnosed with endo two years ago. I had stage 2 and it was in a number of different places. A lot of the pain went away...the stabbing knife type of pain that came out of nowhere, my hip pain, even a lot of my cramping...
- 3 weeks ago I started a new bcp, after being on 4 others that all didn't work out. This one has been working fairly well for endo. I've had two migraines w/vision issues, though. I'm not normally a migraine person (I've had 3 or 4 in my life) and...
- I saw another doctor today for a 3rd opinion. Basically, I've been debating whether or not to have another lap and wanted another opinion. I'm a bit frustrated and confused by what he is saying. He spent a lot of time with me and said he has...
- The holidays are always hard. I'm single with no kids, although I would love to be married with a family. I'm 30. Doctors have told me time is ticking. My sisters both have many kids and those kids are the apple of my parents' eyes. They bring...
- I've been switching hormones like crazy. I'm on #5 since September. I have two ovarian cysts, which we think are endometriomas. When switching pills, I sometimes give myself a small break between them. On those breaks, when I'm not on any...
- I've been on a hormone roller coaster. I've been on 4 different hormones since September, about to start #5. I had a period starting December 1st. I tried a bc pill for 5 days following that which made me sick, so I went off of it, and...
- My doctor recently switched me to Generess. I've had major nausea the past few days. I'm not sure if it is from my cysts or from the pill. The nausea doesn't come right after I take the pill, so it is hard to tell. It is usually later in the...
- Has anyone participated in the Violet Petal Study? I have an opportunity to and I do qualify. It's a lot to think about, and honestly I think I'm too scared, but I wanted to see if anyone has any personal experiences.
- Sorry for the constant drama lately! So if you read my post below, i saw a specialist who said he could do surgery/mirena or I could do a research study. He said in the meantime to stay on my progesterone-only pill. Today I saw my regular gyn to...
