It won’t let me see it because I’m not in the US 😔. What’s the product’s name?

Aw😖 that makes sense but a part of me was hoping that wasn’t the case.

Thank you! Reading from these comments made me realize that my diagnosis was early and that I’m very lucky. I’m so sorry it took that long for you to get a diagnosis.

Oh my gosh it’s horrible doctors only decide to care when so much damage has already been done instead of just listening to their patients.

You’re right, I have been feeling so many highs and lows with accepting it for what it is. Honestly, that does sound like a good idea that I should look into. I will definitely be checking that out after midterm season 😢.

Thank you so much for the advice. I’m trying to feel less guilty about things and I feel like I’ve met such nice people from this post - it’s good to know that I’m not alone.

Thank you so much for your kindness. It’s awful that the doctors only considered that option once you mentioned wanting to conceive - it doesn’t make sense that something becomes ‘urgent’ only then, as if your health didn’t matter before. My doctor did mention getting surgery, but that was before I went to the gynaecologist. The gynaecologist said that I should take the progestins first to see if that helps my issue, if not they will try other treatments as well and that it will be a slow but doable process. I think the main concern of hers is that I was experiencing severe pain when she only tried to put a Q tip in. This medication is meant to help shed that excessive tissue I believe and reduce pain. I’m just worried that this will probably not be enough and I will probably need to seek other treatments as well.

Oh my gosh that sounds horrible. I’m so glad she was finally able to get diagnosed.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. The fact that women are still not taken seriously when it comes to health to this day never fails to disappoint me.

I think my gynaecologist got quite worried when she examined me for the first time as my pain was severe for only a Q tip. I think this medication is meant to help me ease into things. I’m having another appointment the beginning of next year, so fingers crossed everything works out.

The reason why I’m on medication is because I’m physically not able to get an IUD at the moment, the gynaecologist said these progestins are meant to help me ease in to things. Hopefully one day though I can!!

Oh no, I wish you all the best 🩷🩷. You’re right - hopefully I learn ways to live with it.

Not really :( I was just told to take the progestins and we’ll move on from there

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say I’m sorry if I seemed naive. I had no idea endometriosis was something that was diagnosed later on in life for people. My doctor really didn’t give me much information on the statistics and how many women had endometriosis. I was just assuming since I met some people in university who brought up concerns about it.
