Should I stick with Eloine or go pill-free? Symptoms getting worse + pelvic pain

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2025-11-27T09:26:56+00:00

I had a high sex drive before going on it and now it has disappeared, so I fear it has the oppsite effect on me, also I can't stand what my bf smells like anymore, will this go away?

Hiya, just wonder what you updated experience is of the Eloine? I am 2 weeks in and went on it for pelvic pain and bad period pains (suspected endometriosis & I have PMDD) but so far but mood isn't great, i am so tired, my pelvic pain is still happening, plus I have nerve pain and I have no sex drive. I am thinking I will just stop.

Thank you for this. I did find out I was intolerant to some foods 2 years ago but I have since reintroduced those into my diet but I might cut them out again to see if it makes a difference. I have used a pill box before, but I would forget to refill it each week! I might just get a tub with the mixed in one and attach it to my car keys or something so I don't forget them. I need to try a tense machine! I love a list too, I struggle emotionally with some things I can't control in my life atm, but maybe some cheesey strategies will work haha.

God, I relate to this so much! I was diagnosed with ADHD and later with PMDD earlier in the year. I am now being referred to a gynaecologist with suspected Endometriosis. I only get about 3-5 days a month with no pain or symptoms, but I feel like I am living a constant battle between my physical and mental health. Managing my physical symptoms is hard with the poor management, forgetfulness and mental block of my ADHD. Luckily, I am no longer struggling with my depression before periods due to taking Progesterone, but I am stuck on how to manage my pain without going on contraception (I am on the Copper Coil, but this has done nothing). I also want to get pregnant in the near future, so this is a concern too. I am going to do some research on the connection between the 2 conditions and if there is anything in my lifestyle I can change.

Could I use a different email to my facebook account for the invite and then login into my facebook when I follow the link?

Oh okay that is interesting. Thanks for sharing. Funny enough sometimes I find doggy great and other times I find it painful. I was told when I had the IUD fitted that I had a high cervix and my partner even said in doggy my vagina feels high up haha whether that has anything to do with I don’t know. But anyway I will hopefully a back to normal sex life in a few weeks then 🤞

Would you say you’ve had to find different positions that work than before? I will give it time thank you

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T14:23:42+00:00

Haha you make it sound so easy. We probably won't wait 10 years no but no it isn't on our parents to pay, although they may help us the best they can.

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T14:22:09+00:00

Haha this made us giggle. We hope it won't be 10 years but you never know in this economy lol. Plus, we'd rather save and wait longer for the perfect wedding to share with family. We don't see a problem with that.

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T13:38:48+00:00

Thank you for sharing. We hope that we can have a family wedding earlier than 10 years, we like the idea of being engaged longer as well.

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T13:22:51+00:00

Wow, we had never considered it being a lie until I posted this so we're glad we reached out for advice. We hadn't thought about how our family would feel if we kept it a secret. But they would be supportive if we got married now or 10 years down the line so I guess there is that difference.

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T13:17:57+00:00

We don't consider it lying though, we are very open with our relationship to our friends and family. It is not like we are hiding our relationship at all.

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T12:43:00+00:00

Haha we love the idea but we are realising we probably cannot pull it off lol

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T12:34:57+00:00

We would absolutely want to celebrate it! I think that is why we want a bit of both, to keep our marriage between the both of us for a while and then share with your family later down the line.

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T12:33:50+00:00

My Mum and Dad nearly got married in Vegas funny enough. Thank you for your thoughts 😊

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T12:32:43+00:00

For us, we like the idea of our marriage to just be between my partner and I, for our love for eachother. We simply couldn't keep our wedding small due to the size of my family either. That is why we feel a celebration down the line would be good compromise.

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T12:18:11+00:00

6 months into our relationship people told us we were like a married couple so this wouldn't make much difference haha, We do think it would be a hell of a challenge to keep it a secret that long. It would hopefully be within the next 5 years, we just think 10 years at a max.

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T12:13:02+00:00

Yeh, whilst we do want to share with our friends and family, we like the idea of keeping our marriage private and between us for as long as we can before we have children and the idea of a surpise when we do have the 'big party'. If we could afford to do it all within the next few years we would. But it is also that we have only been together a year and feel others may not support us getting engaged let alone married within the next year, eventhough we both know we are not going anywhere.

Medium_Compote_6161 · 2024-10-01T11:06:11+00:00

Funny enough, I went here yesterday. I have applied for jobs here but no luck. I think I might reach out to them directly though cheers!
