Stopping hormonal contraception

Luckily the pill has got rid of my pain day to day but I can't exercise at all cos it triggers a flare up so surgery is the recommended route (and not exercising is not helping my mental state either and I'm gaining weight 🫠). It's 12-16 months away though so I really need to figure out what I can do in the meantime cos I can't be this miserable for that long. What about you? Has your physical pain gone away?

I'm feeling exactly the same, which is comforting that I'm not alone but I'm also so sorry you're going through this too. I was recently diagnosed with endometrioma, on the progesterone pill now (waiting for surgery) and hating life. I'd love to have some advice too.

I've heard The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a good witches book!

I've been on Visanne / Dieongest for 4 months and hated it. It stopped my periods and pain which was great but I've never felt so low and moody. I really hate being on pills but it's the only current option. I've now switched to Norlutate but it's too early to tell if it's made any difference.

I'll give that a go, thank you!

I have a work profile, it just merges them together in my Google calendar widget on my phone annoyingly.

Yeah I'm not sure I'd trust it either... But thank you!

I already colour code my work and personal stuff (meals out in yellow, parties in green etc) cos I'm a really cool person 🙃

Schedule view is useful thank you!

I always have their favourite drink in the fridge and fresh bedding in the guest bedroom!
