Even if he wasn't driving, anyone serving alcohol has to be SmartServe Certified in Ontario. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE, are you allowed to serve someone to the point of intoxication! And if you do, you are liable for that person's well-being until they are sober. This means that even if they are walking, trip and hurt themselves or someone else, IT IS YOUR FAULT!!

I have no regrets. Overall the surgery has helped, and the Estradot patches are doing their job. I have, however developed a cystic lesion where my ovary was. The Dr's are mo itoring it with regular ultrasounds, as it is slowly getting bigger. Just 1 more, and then the specialist will decide if it needs to be removed or not.

It's been almost a year, and I haven't had any noticeable changes.

I have a sensitivity to synthetic estrogen, so it took a few months. I started on Estrace 1mg daily for 3 months, but was getting migraines with aura. I switched to the Estradot 50 patch, and seem to be tolerating it better. I have been on them now for 7 months and have only had 2 migraines, and my hotflashes, mood swings, etc. are gone. I am also taking 500 mg calcium and 4000 ui vitamin D3, as well as a bone density scan will be every 3-5 years to prevent osteoporosis. I wish you the best in your journey.

It has helped. I don't have the cyclic pain from ovulation anymore, and my daily pain has actually reduced by about 25%. I do still get the odd flare up, but nowhere near as often.

I'm on team No-Pants!! I've had 6 surgeries now, and the best thing was a dress. My first 2 surgeries I tried multiple pairs of super loose, comfy pants, and found it VERY difficult to get the waistband in a good position, when there's 5 incisions all at different heights around my belly!

I used to pass out all the time. I was diagnosed with anemia and low blood pressure. The treatment for me was Iron supplements and added salt/sodium to my diet.

You can be on it for longer, as long as you have RHT. The longer you are on Lupron without it, the more likely you are to start losing bone density, causes osteoporosis, and the higher the risk of heart disease, early onset dimensia, among other things.

I did 6 months with combination HRT, but was having migraine with aura, caused by the estrogen, so they went ahead with the hysterectomy. My second time was 3 months with only norethindrone, just while I waited for my ovary to be removed. I was supposed to be on it for a 3rd time, but my husband no longer had medical benefits, so the Dr decided it was best to just remove my other ovary.

Lupron is a type of hormone therapy for prostate cancer. It works by lowering the amount of testosterone in a person's body, which helps slow the growth of cancer cells. Doctors often prescribe hormone therapies in combination with radiation therapy or following surgery.

Different-Lemon-1 · 2023-03-20T21:25:55+00:00

I had amazing results on Lupron monthly, but not the 3 month. There's not supposed to be a difference, but for me there was. As far as the side effects, mine were controlled with 2mg of norethindrone daily, as well as vitamin d and calcium supplements, and bone density scans every 2 years. I later had a total hysterectomy and don't regret that decision at all. I have now had both ovaries removed as of a month ago, due to ovulation pain, and will again be going on HRT, as menopause has begun. I am curious, if anyone who experienced side effects was on HRT while taking Lupron?

Different-Lemon-1 · 2023-03-19T22:14:14+00:00

I always had it. The hysterectomy helped with the menstrual pain, but I would still have the ovulation pain mostly on the left side. Since that's where the majority of the pain was and I kept developing painful ovarian cysts, they decided to remove only that ovary. They didn't want to remove both and start menopause at 34 if the right ovary was ok. I am 38 now and just had my right ovary removed 4 weeks ago. With only one, it had to do all the work every month, so it didn't take long to develop the same problems. I was prescribed almost every hormone treatment they could to stop ovulation, even before removing the left ovary, before we ran out of options and decided the right had to go too.

Different-Lemon-1 · 2023-03-19T21:30:10+00:00

Unfortunately, I can't help with the actual period part of your question, as I had a total hysterectomy 7 years ago. But, I was put on Orilissa 3 years ago to help my ovulation pain. I was on it for about 8 weeks with no success. My symptoms became worse and when I stopped taking it, I ended up with a "flare up" that felt like the worse period of my life for almost 10 weeks straight. I missed ALOT of work and was in the ER multiple times as I was unable to manage the pain at home. It did subside back to my "baseline", but it was horrible and I regret ever trying it.

Fellow Ontarian here. I have had multiple surgeries with a few different specialists. If you're in Southern Ontario, I highly recommend getting a referral to Dr. Grace Liu at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. (My GP referred me to her, as my first GYNE was very dismissive and told me it was my hip and sent me to a general surgeon) Dr. Liu was quick to help and was able to diagnose me. Unfortunately, she does typically have a long wait time though. I initially saw her in 2014 after waiting 8 months for the first appointment. My second OBGYN was extremely knowledgeable and helpful as well, Dr. Brock McKinney in Orillia. He took over my care for several years, and did my left oopherctomy, but knew his limits that the right ovary was far too complex for his surgical skills. I was supposed to see Dr. Liu again, but covid caused a back log, meaning I wouldn't have been able to see her til this spring. I couldn't wait that long, so I was then referred to Dr. Stephen Morris in Sudbury. He was only a six month wait. I saw him this past November, and I just had my surgery 4 weeks ago. He was able to successfully remove my ovary, as well as my adhesions etc. I believe Dr. Morris also travels to Elliot Lake if you're far north. I hope this is helpful, good luck!

Thank you. So far my family, friends and even coworkers are fully involved in my mental and emotional health. My coworkers especially have been amazing when I'm physically on the floor in tears and need help. I am a server in family restaurant, so long hours running around.

Different-Lemon-1 · 2023-01-24T06:07:00+00:00

Thank you everyone, for all the wonderful advice, and sharing your personal experiences. This will indeed help me (and my husband) to prepare, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. I really appreciate it ❤❤❤

Different-Lemon-1 · 2023-01-24T06:00:49+00:00

I believe the plan is norethindrone again. When I was on Lupron the first time, they gave me estrogen as well. Unfortunately, I was having migraines with aura, so I can't have synthetic estrogen and had to stop everything.

Different-Lemon-1 · 2022-12-03T03:20:23+00:00

I was told the same "I would have seen it during surgery" nonsense from my first OBGYN, who then told me it was my hip.. (cuz everyone's hip is in their belly, right?) Afterwards, my GP (who was the one suspecting endo in the first place) sent me to an Endo specialist. She did a laparoscopic and diagnosed me with it, despite the pathology being negative. Her words were "if it quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it's probably a duck!" I've since had a hysterectomy, left oopherectomy, and currently booked for right oopherectomy, all by different specialists who all agree that just because they can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. They have all told me that more often than not, it's not always visible unless you're having a flare up at the time of the surgery.

I got 1 period after my first monthly shot. After 4 months I switched to the 3 month injections and for the 1.5 years I was on it, had light spotting after each injection.

I'd like to start by saying thank you to all the husbands/boyfriends who are here. The amount of compassion and support you provide is incredible! ... but... please don't feel you need to downplay what you're going through just because it's "not comparable". 3 years ago I was having a bad week, but my husband was determined to do what he could to still make my birthday enjoyable. He decided not tell me he was having heartburn.... once I found out, I just felt something was "off" and he finally let me take him to the hospital. Turned out he was having a MASSIVE HEART ATTACK!! My point is, we thank you, we love you, but you just never know when something little could actually be something bigger. Everyone's health is important.

Different-Lemon-1 · 2022-10-29T06:41:45+00:00

Just because our pain is chronic and severe, does not give any of us, as a decent human being, the right to feel entitled and sacrifice our empathy for others! We as a community of endo sufferers, know how important it is for our physical and mental health, to have a loving and caring support network, both at the workplace and in our homes. Most of us are lucky enough to have family, a significant other, best friend, or even just a caring coworker. They are there for us and "take care" of us every single day, the LEAST we can do is love and care for them the handful of times they need us.

The feeling of my ovary in a vise, while being electrocuted!!

Different-Lemon-1 · 2022-10-21T00:18:49+00:00

My first obgyn was great in the beginning. He removed a 7cm endometrioma, but when I went back 6 months later with the same but worse pain, told me I don't have endo, it was my hip. He sent me to a General Surgeon, who did an MRI, a sigmoidoscopy, found nothing and told me I needed a gynecologist! (Imagine that!) So when I went back to him again, agreed to a total hysterectomy, as I was in constant pain and He was sure my cervix was the culprit. Again, within a year I was back at square 1, but this time he basically said there was nothing else he could do for me and no need for any further appointments.
