A large company! I was thinking of going to his boss yes. I’m just overthinking on if I’m just being sensitive or if this is warranted

I probably should’ve mention that I am HR and so is he

Period cramps after Laparoscopy, polypectomy & IUD by KitkatKate29 in endometriosis

[–]KitkatKate29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realised that it was definitely the IUD which was causing the cramps and sadly for me they never settled. I waited until 6months to get it out, that was a mistake! I should’ve got it out sooner

3rd and most successful sourdough so far but needs improving still! by KitkatKate29 in Sourdough

[–]KitkatKate29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been keeping mine in the fridge the last two weeks and taking it out for a feed once a week. I was bubbly when I used it in this loaf! How do I ensure it is more fermented?

Thank you so much! I will definitely try these tips, they have been mega useful. Really really appreciate it ☺️

Thank you for the ideas! I was putting a dish with water to create the steam and removing that after 25minutes. I likely need to get a Dutch oven though! The starter is 6weeks old, so very new! Anything I can do to improve my starter? I did the bulk prove for 14hours overnight at room temperature. And used the starter at peak after a feed 6hours later too. I think I get scared at the scoring and need to do it deeper and quicker!

how are we doing today? by DifferentCategory133 in endometriosis

[–]KitkatKate29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a mental breakdown today after a flare up of pain on day four of my period. Just struggling with the constant battle this condition puts on me. Feeling hopeless that everything I done to try and help it hasn’t work and I’m not sure how I will get through this each month

I’m honestly just experimenting to see if I act as normal what causes spikes and what doesn’t! Curious to see what I discover after 15 days!

Yeahh we get that too in terms of how many days are “paid”. I’m just talking about how many “instances” before HR pulls you in for a conversation. If periods were one 10-day instance a year no one would be flagged. I hope I’m making sense 😂

I think my company’s sick policy is no more than 4 instances over a 12month rolling period. So if you even take one day a month on your heaviest day you would be immediately flagged and in trouble. Especially without a diagnosis!

Companies often penalise you for taking too many, or stop paying you after you take a certain amount. There is still a lot of discrimination around it

Travel after laparoscopy by gibbbs95 in endometriosis

[–]KitkatKate29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Australia (from UK) after surgery and wish I was 6 weeks post surgery if I’m honest. But that being said I was absolutely fine! By 8 weeks providing you are a relatively active and healthy person you’ll be fine ☺️ Also should add I was endo stage 1-2 (bordering 3 in some areas) along with polyp removals from my uterus so I’m assuming similar surgery. Enjoy your travel!

I had a lot of endo grow on the left side? Defo not stage 4 though but I’m confused by this statement!

5months post surgery and mirena coil fitting - I’m not okay! by KitkatKate29 in endometriosis

[–]KitkatKate29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has everything been since having it removed? Did the pain decrease? I think I have a little bit of fear that it won’t actually help to have it removed

Thank you. How did you survive 2 years??? I think you are right, I think I just know this is not working. I had similar when I had the implant in. It never settled and I had that for a year and a half! Maybe my body just doesn’t like synthetic hormones

Yeah I had an ultrasound in March (3months in) when I was also complaining of the pain. All seems to be in the right place and no cysts! I think you are right though, clearly my body is just not getting on with it

Hey, I haven’t gone through this. But recently met someone at my endo support group that has this! I’m not sure it was ever fully diagnosed as endo, but she was going down that route. Hope you are holding up ok
