- I saw an endo specialist! Now my mind is racing. I have a few options. He said he could do surgery and remove whatever endo is there, my cyst, as well as remove my uterosacral ligament (?!) and some extra tissue. He would then suggest either...
- I'm seeing an endo specialist tomorrow. Do I tell him I'm looking for a new doctor? My current doctor has the most dysfunctional office. Do I tell him I'm looking for a 2nd opinion? Do I tell him I've run out of options? Really, I would just...
- I had an ultrasound this morning to check on my cyst. In October, I was told I had a 2cm simple cyst. Now they tell me it is a 2cm complex cyst. What is the difference? I know that complex means that it has some solid components, but what does...
- I'm seeing an endo specialist on Friday. Unfortunately, I took myself off the pill and am very concerned I'll get my period then. I know he can still do what he needs to do, but...gross! Especially since I don't know him and want to get the most...
- After much research, I found a true endo specialist in my area and have an appt the day after Thanksgiving. Never thought I'd be so happy to see a gyno! ;) He is the director of a practice of gynecologists that solely focus on pelvic pain, mostly...
- I have a bunch of questions. First of all, I have a cyst on my right ovary. Today I'm getting pain on my right side, but more mid to upper abdomen. Could this be from the cyst pain radiating? Second, I have a bad cold/sinus stuff and can I just...
- Hi there,I was recently switched to norethindrone (Camila), a progesterone-only pill. I'm having some spotting, but I know that is typical when you switch over. My doctor wanted me to try these since they don't contain estrogen and endo thrives on...
- So I went to the doctor because my symptoms have been increasing...pelvic pain, nausea, pain in hips, legs, and back, etc. The P.A. does an ultrasound and tells me it is a simple ovarian cyst. I can do surgery or wait and see. I'm taking the wait...
- I'm going to try a new doctor. I can never get in to see my doctor when I need to, and then when I do go in, she basically tells me I need to do Lupron or Mirena and if I say no, there's nothing else she can do. I found a "specialist" online who...
- First of all, I want to say how thankful I am for all of you. I had taken a bit of a break from the site because I was doing better and didn't need to be thinking about endo when I was doing better. I am having a bad spell again, and have been...
- My dr prescribed this over the phone, without actually talking to me. Now I'm confused. I've been on a regular bcp, but it's making my pain worse and making me crazy, so we're trying this. When I picked it up, I realized there are no placebo...
- I've been going through another flare-up after having a few good months. Lately I've been nauseous on and off, but today I got so gaggy. Every time I talk (which is a lot since I am a teacher) I would get gaggy. Even this evening it is happening,...
- Has anybody taken this? My doctor just switched me to this from Loestrin/Minastrin. Just wondering what people's experiences were. I never like trying new meds. :) Thanks!
- I recently switched from Loestrin to Minastrin for my bc pills. Loestrin was discontinued and Minastrin is supposed to be a chewable form with the same hormonal makeup. I've been taking Minastrin for a week, and I feel my pain is increasing a bit....
- I've been gaining weight. Not a huge amount, but about 10-15 pounds in the last year. I can't figure out why. It seems like the healthier I eat, the more weight I gain. Could this be at all linked to endo? My pants are so tight by the end of...
