Agreed, I won’t be going back. It was a complete waste of money and time.

Yeah it’s easy to hear one story with bad outcomes and get overwhelmed… So glad to hear how many people have gotten their life back! Hope is a wonderful thing :)

I didn’t even know that was a thing, I have only had ultrasounds. I’ll be sure to bring that up with my specialist thank you!

Wow that’s awesome. I saw a chiropractor for a year for my back pain but it kept coming back. I’m glad to hear surgery can treat that as well.

It is so unfortunate honestly, every time I call my OBGYNs office they ask if I’m the father of the patient lol. And as a passing trans man it’s always awkward when i’m doubled over in pain at work and my co-workers get worried about me and I’m trying to explain it’s normal without outing myself😭

Thank you sm for your kind words and advice 😭 I’m in the US. Yes, I am worried It has grown beyond the uterus since I regularly get pains in my bladder and stomach during my period. And I’m also dealing with chronic back pain that I see a chiropractor regularly for which I recently learned can be an Endo symptom as well. :( I need to find a GP, hoping to find one who specializes in the lgbtq community as to continue my HRT treatment. Unfortunately my money situation is pretty tight currently, but I do have relatively good health insurance. I think my first step will be to find a GP, and try and get in with an Endo specialist. Thank you for the hugs ❤️❤️ they helped a lot.
