- I've been taking Loestrin 24 FE and have been very happy with it. I went to refill my prescription, and was told it is no longer available. Now it is "Minastrin" 24 FE and is a chewable (?!) tablet. Anyone take this? What has been your...
- I am a teacher and am just returning after summer break. A coworker who knows I have endo asked how I was feeling. I answered honestly...I've been feeling really good lately. For whatever reason, my endo pain has been much better. She replies,...
- Hi everyone! I haven't posted in awhile...luckily I've been feeling pretty good the past few months. I've recently started to have pain in my left thigh. It is on the top of my thigh, so it doesn't feel like an inner muscle, really. There are...
- I'm wondering if as your body gets used to a bc pill the effectiveness wears off. When I was first put on loestrin after my surgery a year and a half ago, my periods were extremely light. Almost nonexistent, which was the total opposite of what I...
- I'm having breakthrough bleeding/cramping mid-cycle. I've never had this while on the pill, except when trying to stop my periods altogether which did not work. But things have been very normal since I'm taking the pill and breaking for my period....
- Anyone else have hemorrhoids? I got my first external one this week and it is so painful! I had no idea they could be this painful! It bleeds off and on all day, too. I called my gi doc and he wants to do a banding procedure to remove it. I was...
- I have a positive ANA and knew about it for years before I was diagnosed with endo. Drs suspected lupus at one point, sent me to a rheumatologist, who couldn't find anything truly wrong. I had a lot of lupus symptoms, but those disappeared after...
- Just got back from the doctor after having more pain/nausea. My dr keeps insisting that I have to do kegels and stretches. When she does the internal exam and asks where it hurts, she says it usually hurts when she presses on my muscles, along...
- I usually have days/weeks when I am feeling great, and then days/weeks when I am super-nauseous and have achey pelvic pain and some sharp pains. There doesn't usually seem to be a pattern...like it doesn't really correlate with my period, except...
- I'm currently on Loestrin and while it is working well for me, it is $35 a month. If that is what it takes, then that is fine, but I'd prefer to save some money. My insurance company gave me a list of the free birth control pills from Obama. Does...
- You've been warned! Before I was officially diagnosed, I had a few episodes of rectal bleeding. I went to a gi doctor who told me it was an internal hemmorhoid. (sp?) This week, I've had a lot of pain when going to the bathroom (a symptom of...
- I saw this article on facebook today. http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2013/02/wheat-and-endometriosis/The facebook comments were all about people claiming how they eliminated wheat and now their endo pain is gone or very little! I gave up wheat and...
- What is lower back pain like that is associated with endo? It has never been a big symptom for me, but lately it has been bad. I'm not sure if it is endo related or not. Sometimes it is an ache, but today I was having trouble walking because it...
- I've been feeling off all day. I have waves of nausea, burning pains higher in my abdomen, and my aching ovary is extra achey. I've wondered if I have an ovarian cyst, but I'm very doubtful because I only have had one that was diagnosed. Within...
- Read this!http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/lizzie-oleary-endometriosis?src=soc_fcbkIt was nice to see an article that portrayed endo as it really is. I see so many articles that focus solely on either painful periods or infertility. Endo is so...
