- I was always told that birth control pills prevent ovulation and maintain your hormone level. So when you have your period, it isn't really your period, it is simply withdrawal bleeding because you stopped taking the pills and your hormone levels...
- So my first post got deleted, so here is post #2. Yesterday I had kind of a rough doctor appointment. It was a 6-month follow up with my gynecologist, who tells me she is an endometriosis specialist. She does excision surgery, and she did mine...
- Yesterday I posted about a bad doctor appt. Today it is gone. I don't think there was anything bad in there. Why would it had been deleted?
- Every now and then I have a bladder issue that pops up out of nowhere and leaves just as quickly. This one is new though, and rather embarrassing. I have pain near/in my urethra. Last night I had a lot of pain there when I was urinating. Now it...
- My doctor wants me to start exercising on a regular basis. She thinks it will help my endo, and I know that it is healthy for you. I really have never been much of an exerciser, but I wouldn't say I live a sedentary lifestyle. I'm a teacher and...
- My pain has been pretty bad the past week or so. I just feel so alone in my pain and feel like I need to tell someone. (I'm single and live by myself.) I'm just tired of people not getting it. My coworker asked what is wrong and she told me she...
- I've noticed this pattern and wanted to see if this is similar for anyone else. When my pain and my symptoms are terrible, I'm able to handle it better emotionally. I think because it takes so much for me to handle the intense pain. Then, when I...
- I had dinner with a close friend last night. She had asked me about my endo, as she thinks she might have it too. I was stressing the important reasons to get diagnosed and was trying to help her understand that it isn't just a "female issue". I...
- I just wrote this below, but thought I'd start a new post. Has anyone here had a partial bowel obstruction? What were your symptoms? How were you diagnosed? What was done about it? I've had some symptoms and doctors have considered it since I...
- The past few nights I've woken up with this ache all over my abdomen, along with nausea. It isn't just a pelvic ache, it is my whole belly. Does this sound like endo or a stomach issue? It definitely seems to be made worse by sleeping on my...
- Everything I've read online about endo says that the symptoms are always worse during your period. While I've always had horrible periods, they've gotten much better since surgery and being on the pill. The really bad times, both before and after...
- I'm tired of being on the pill. I sometimes wonder if I feel emotionally off because of it. I know my dr would not want me to stop it. She wasn't happy that I wasn't able to take it continuously with not break. I want to stop taking it for a...
- A few months ago, I completely changed my diet. I went from eating a diet that was okay, but included a lot of gluten and processed food, to a gluten-free diet with much less processed food. I lost a few pounds, but other than that, I noticed no...
- I had a lap done to be diagnosed last December. My doctor is an obgyn, but seemed to know a lot about endo. (At least she was the first dr to think that was my issue and correctly diagnosed me). The surgery was excision surgery and done doing the...
- I'm just curious as to how others mentally cope with endo. How do you get your mind off of it? How often are you thinking about it? I've been diagnosed for less than a year. I feel like I think about it constantly and my mind works it into...
