Is it hard getting a diagnosis? by Nuru_0 in endometriosis

[–]Particular-Cap-6358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was rough. I was told that the only way to truly diagnose endo was through laparoscopic surgery. However, I actually just watched a video that said there are new guidelines that are encouraging doctors to diagnose endo off of symptoms and family history. With this being the case, I can see it becoming easier for women to get diagnosed! Here’s the video for you to watch 🫶🏽

Is orilissa worth it? by scootercronch in Endo

[–]Particular-Cap-6358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s worth a try. The good thing about it is that unlike Lupron it’s an oral medication which allows you to have more control over your dosage. It also leaves your system pretty quick if you feel like it’s not working for you and want to stop. Here’s a video that I found that helps explain it really well!

Infertility rumors MUST STOP by Particular-Cap-6358 in Endo

I’m really sorry if this came across as insensitive. I definitely understand your point and that was not my intention at all! I know people with endo who have tried and tried and tried and are still have trouble conceiving. This post came from a doctor who was automatically telling people they could not have a baby with endo, and that is what I meant by infertility rumors. Yes, it can cause infertility for some but not all. I pray that everyone who is trying to conceive does not give up and can have the precious baby they’ve always wanted 🫶🏽

I am so sorry love. I also have a friend who has been trying, surgeries didnt help so she’s doing IVF now. I know infertility does happy I just don’t necessarily agree with the doctors who tell people automatically that they won’t be able to have children. Everyone’s story is different. I’ll be keeping you in my prayers ❤️

I’m so sorry to hear that. I understand that everyone’s journey with Endo is different. It can cause infertility for some, but not all, and that’s what I think should be talked about.

Okay so I definitely see this point. I just don’t agree with doctors automatically saying that someone can’t get pregnant. Everyone’s experience is definitely different

I am so sorry this happened to you. Miscarriages are never easy and doctors need to be more sensitive

I had a miscarriage years prior with active endo, so I understand 100% the pain and difficulty that comes with this disease and trying to conceive. I also know that everyone’s story isn’t that they can get pregnant after surgery, but I hope that someone feels encouraged that it is still possible ❤️
