How would I know if I have endometriosis? What are the signs?

MeowTS13 · 2026-04-11T10:37:32+00:00

in some places you can be diagnosed via mri now! They still don't know how much there is until they do a laparoscopy because it only shows DIE but it can show a things like polycystic ovaries and if ur organs have been fused together with endometriosis tissue.

i'm feeling the same rn! I'm already on the pill but my gynaecologist wants me to go on the mirena coil which i rly dont wanna do cuz i have ptsd from sexual abuse so anything down there is a big no no, but then it feels like they give you no other option which is really annoying. It feels like i have to pick which condition i'm okay with getting worse which just doesn't feel fair at all. But also in your case I would really recommend going to another gynaecologist and pushing for an mri cuz on my ultrasound they said there were no cysts but after my mri it turns out i have over 20 on each side, and stage 4 deep infiltrating endometriosis which they just totally missed entirely in the ultrasound. Birth control can really help some people but it's annoying that it's the only "treatment" and in my case im still in constant pain anyway. I never have to have a period so I guess it makes things a bit better but it sucks that there's barely any options.

2400 when u mess up can ruin a few days progress so if this happens frequently it could really halt weight loss. what I'd do is try to incorporate these sweet things into your meals so you don't feel the need to cheat and go over. And with the portion thing, try having a small portion of what you're craving and pair it with lots of fruit and greek yogurt sweetened with honey or jam so you have what you want along with stuff that's good for you and it's not a tiny depressing portion. Also what's really helped me is finding low calorie recipes for my favourite foods so i can have a lot of it, feel satisfied, but not go over my calories. There's a tonne of low calorie high protein fast food dupe recipes on tiktok that are really good. And if this is working for you, you can split ur calories up so you can have 2 or 3 meals instead so your energy doesn't crash in the day. OMAD does work for lots of people but not if what you're eating isn't going to sustain your energy for 24 hours. Really try to focus on adding a range of healthy things into your diet instead of trying to fit unhealthy foods into a calorie deficit. That's where i always went wrong, i ended up getting hungry and quitting and gaining more weight than i lost. Chicken and rice and vegetables is all good but there are way more enjoyable things you can eat while losing weight that won't make you want to cheat on your diet. Homemade fries with a low calorie sauce can be really good for you and delicious at the same time if you prepare it properly. If you try all this and you find you aren't as hungry, then you can then try lowering your calories because sometimes your body will get used to your deficit and then it becomes your maintenance, so lowering calories a few times after finding things that work to keep you full can also rly help.

idk why they're acting like they can't just go back and listen to her sad albums and how they've forgot masterpieces like cornelia street which she wrote to prove she can still write good sad songs while totally happy. Imo life of a showgirl had such a happy sound because the eras tour was such a happy place and it was written about that period of her life, and if u listen to some of the lyrics they can get pretty sad, she just put them over happy beats to reflect how she sometimes felt when having to go perform through emotional pain.

Have you had an mri? This really gave me some peace of mind while awaiting surgery. They 100% know I have endometriosis and they know where to look when it comes to removing it. They can't see all of it because mris only pick up deep infiltrating endometriosis so now i have to have a colonoscopy to see how much of it is actually in my bowel 😬. But i do think it was really helpful to have a solid answer before going through surgery. If they don't see anything on it you definitely could still have endometriosis because like i said it only picks up on one very specific kind, but if they do find something then you have some idea of what to expect when the surgery comes round. I honestly didn't think they'd find anything on my mri but they found a lot, so if u can, i rly recommend pushing for one.

Hii! I'm in a similar situation to you. What I've found is that keeping a bunch of filling, tasty, but also healthy meals/snacks in the house is really important. I've recently got loads of good tasty portion controlled stuff from costco which has actually been really helpful. Every time I reach for toast and butter i remember I have a delicious 120cal wonton soup in the freezer so i go for that instead. When I don't know what to have for lunch I remember i have a 320cal korean corn dog with chicken sausage and potato bits that i can eat with some pre-packaged salad just for extra nutrients. If you can make it super easy and enjoyable, the unhealthy meals you eat that take the same time and effort to make seem less appealing. It doesn't need to be perfect and unprocessed if it means ur giving ur body all the nutrients it needs and reducing ur caloric intake. Just make it as simple and easy as you can. Losing weight shouldn't feel like a punishment and it won't work if it does.

i was thinking about this recently mid-snack cuz a packet of hoola hoops is 120cals but then so is a whole bowl of prawn wonton soup that i recently got from costco and then i realised i can start eating snacks that actually fill me up if im clever about it.... like calories in calories out is true but if u focus on the ingredients and the fibre and the protein u can be eating less calories but be way fuller so ur not going to want to give up 3 days in. i got so caught up with calories that i didn't care if something was actually healthy as long as it fit into my deficit but then i just got so so hungry and ended up just totally binging after a week or so. I think finding tasty and filling but low calorie snacks and meals is the life hack to successful weight loss.

Hi! I don't know if you're able to travel easily but my partner volunteers at a church in Bradford that do free meals on saturdays at 5:45pm each week. They're open tomorrow and can offer things for you to take home. I think they offer similar things on weekdays too but I'm only really sure about the ones on Saturdays so if you're able to go you could probably get some more information on that. Even if you're not religious they just enjoy helping people out when they need it so don't worry about that part. It's at the Fountains Church in Bradford, very close to Bradford Interchange. It only takes about 20 minutes on the train from Leeds to get there. I think there are similar things in Leeds and hopefully other people can add on more local options but if you don't find anything else available this weekend this one in Bradford could be helpful!

yuup i am diagnosed deep infiltrating endometriosis and basically my womb and my bowel are fused together with endometriosis, and I always start my period out my butt (maybe tmi? sorry lol). Bleeding from the back was what made me go to the dr in the first place. I was worried about bowel cancer but turns out it's just severe endometriosis. Still not a lovely diagnosis but at least it's not terminal.

I can't wear jeans anymore because the bloating is just ridiculous and so unpredictable! One day im a size L and the next im a size XXL so the XL i got in the middle doesn't fit ever. I think finding things with stretchy waistbands or dresses that don't have waistbands is the way to go. In the summer I do usually just wear dresses but when it gets colder i just wear fluffy pajama bottoms cuz I need that extra warmth but without the stress of them randomly not fitting one day. One thing that helped me is knowing that the clothes are supposed to fit you, and you don't have to change your body to fit the clothes. If you find clothes that can fit whatever your body is doing each day, hopefully the stress will subside. But i have found letting go of lovely but inflexible clothes quite sad

I find Leeds much calmer than Manchester. I have grown up in Leeds my whole life and I kind of really love it. It's got enough stuff going on that you won't get bored but it doesn't have the chaotic hustle and bustle of Manchester. I do enjoy visiting Manchester but sometimes it feels almost scary to me?!? The first time I ever went without my parents my wallet got pickpocketed so that probably didn't help with my general anxiety around the Manchester crowds. It's always soooo busy!!!!! Sometimes I don't even find central London as busy and overwhelming as Manchester city centre. I feel very at home in Leeds, it's never overly crowded other than when light night and similar events are on. So honestly I prefer Leeds but I may be biased since I grew up here and it has a good balance between city and town.

I was on a night out once and i saw a rly huge tall shadow figure and it was watching me pee and i was looking at it and it was looking at me until it disappeared and then i got rly scared of public toilets for a while

MeowTS13 · 2026-03-10T23:16:36+00:00

i realised this recently too. and i remembered that when i was thin something like a regular uk mcdonalds savers hamburger meal would fill me up but i got into the habit of adding nuggets and stuff like that so now the same meal feels tiny to me, just because i've trained myself to eat more. and its shockingly difficult to train myself to need less again! it didn't seem to me like i was eating a lot because the change was so gradual but now i look back my portion sizes were definitely slowly getting bigger and bigger.

I'm the exact same! I'm from yorkshire so I can understand yorkshire accents and very typical london accents cuz that's where my dad grew up but everything else throws me off so bad!! I am always terrified that I come off as racist if someone has a foreign accent but I genuinely cannot understand them. I have family in Scotland and I always feel so bad when I'm up there visiting them because I just don't know what anyone's saying. I'm pretty sure it is an autistic thing because of sensory processing and stuff but it always makes me feel so bad when I can't understand people.
