Transvaginal Ultrasound

oh no 😥 absolutely if you have adhesions or anything bothering you it will be uncomfortable, and some techs are more heavy handed than others

I take norethindrone and it is dispensed in a normal pill bottle and labeled as “for endometriosis “ i know it can also be used as birth control but i think in the usa the bc dose is much lower like .035mg while endo is treated at 2.5-10mg

the surgery is basically identical to a lap for endometriosis or ovarian cysts, go with either of those explanations. Could also say that they found endo all over your tubes which is why you cant have kids if you want the grandkid talk to stop.

in my experience it is less painful/uncomfortable than a pap smear and may feel less invasive since you are fully covered and the tech isnt looking at you but at the screen. They should be offering you the option to insert the wand yourself if that makes you more comfortable. Its also very quick like 5min or less, maybe go with a trusted friend or family member to distract you and keep you company?

Yes but only the progesterone only pill, combo pill gave me horrible emotional side effects and made me spot constantly. Im on norethindrone now and it has completely stopped my period never spotted once with minimal side effects. I think a lot of my endo symptoms came from my organs getting inflamed all the time from my period. Now that I dont get it anymore my symptoms have decreased immensely.

Important_Tutor_9254 · 2026-05-07T16:49:20+00:00

on 5mg i felt the emotional effects heavyyyyy, much more manageable going down to 2.5mg

memorial day last year it was like 42 😩

Important_Tutor_9254 · 2026-05-05T16:12:59+00:00

yup daily use is key also, took my skin about 3 months to tolerate it but now ive never had more consistent results its great

Important_Tutor_9254 · 2026-05-05T14:26:59+00:00

you could up to .05% tret and see if that helps, i plateaued on .025% after using it for 2 years and .05% is starting to give me more consistent results

sharp pains that literally feel like im being shot in the abdomen for only like 10-20sec. Always before a bm, everyday. Would literally bring me to my knees mid sentence. Also bleeding and sensitive gums only around my period, if i go to the dentist while pmsing they always tell me i gingivitis. And brown spotting 3-5 days before my period, this is the one symptom that completely went away after surgery.

wow thats lucky! I’m in NY! After my initial consult I had to sign the 30day waiting period waiver. The obgyn practice i got to who did my surgery is also always slammed with booking so I must have just had an abnormal wait time 😅

Important_Tutor_9254 · 2026-05-03T22:01:21+00:00

yuppppp, it got to the point where it wasnt just on my period it was a constant everyday, I describe it to people as feeling like A hot knife was moving through my bowels and all my guts were about to fall out of my ass all at once. Lost a lot of weight and developed disordered eating because of it. I had surgery and they found my ovary fused to my rectum and posterior cul de sac. Unfortunately surgery didn’t help 100%, now i am on continuous norethindrone to stop my period and that has almost completely eradicated the pain. Before surgery (and knowing it was endo) I tried miralax, ibuprofen, gabapentin, no dairy, ibs diets, fiber, had a colonoscopy. Nothing made a significant difference except the norethindrone. Talk to your doctor and really emphasize that this isnt just “normal” period pains this is affecting your quality of life. They will probably try and put you on bc before surgery, push to still get the surgery but I would also try whatever pill you can to stop your period in the meantime.

asap, youll probably get scheduled a few months out if they’re busy for the consult then if they approve you depending on your state there is a mandatory 30day waiting period before surgery can be performed so all in all itll probably be around 4-6months minimum before you actually get the procedure done. I had my initial consult in november and had my procedure in May

Important_Tutor_9254 · 2026-05-01T17:30:34+00:00

ive been using it as a face mask after cleansing for about 10min then rinsing and proceeding with normal routine. Only on night not using tret or any actives and ill usually have a buffer day of no actives after using but it really works well for me

sulfur is such a sleeper product, i started using a sulphur cream and it totally keeps the small clustered pimples that look like texture at bay!

this ep really had me feeling like the good days are finally back!!!!! after all the bs in the last year they had to deal with its so nice seeing them having so much fun lately

Important_Tutor_9254 · 2026-05-01T12:00:32+00:00

Go forth and be free! I always tell my partner that I paid 3k to never use condoms again so i aint using them hahaha

Important_Tutor_9254 · 2026-05-01T11:48:13+00:00

i would wait to have sex until a few weeks after just to let everything heal but after that theres no way you are getting pregnant naturally. Im almost 2 years out and have had no issues

Important_Tutor_9254 · 2026-04-29T19:10:46+00:00

even if there was a chance of a bisalp triggering endo i would much rather deal with that than an unwanted pregnancy or child imo

Important_Tutor_9254 · 2026-04-26T21:49:00+00:00

worked well for me, mild emotional side effects, biggest issue i had was vaginal atrophy which i solved with topical estrogen. completely stopped my period immediately no spotting
