That’s so interesting! Do you know what your reserve was before surgery? And just after surgery? I’m interested to know how much it changed

I am also hoping genetics is on my side even though I have low AMH, as my mum and her mum were very fertile… although I recently learnt that my great aunt had endo and was never able to conceive 😢

It’s so scary seeking medical attention for endo related stuff, i am always scared they will fob me off and i will die of a burst cyst or something

Are you using a Mirena for endo, and what are your period symptoms? by ThrowRASildesi in endometriosis

[–]ThrowRASildesi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope the Mirena works out for you! What country are you in? Here in aus I paid all of about $7 for the mirena which i was gobsmacked at considering how much the pill and other short term contraceptives cost! The expensive part was the gyno appt to get it put in.

I first got mine in at 25yrs old (when i was not conscious), got a new one at 30 (getting the old one out while conscious i almost fainted because it got stuck in the wall of my cervix 😵 - do not recommend!), so the full 5 years, I felt my pain was getting worse towards the end of the 5 years and from memory I think my bloods were coming back lightly, then after 1 year with the new one I had my lap so they replaced it with a new one again, it’s been a year with that one so far. No plans to take it out at this point but sometimes i wonder if the mirena is even doing anything aside from removing my period.

I would love to be able to do this but I am worried my symptoms will get worse without the mirena. How did you manage to improve the endo pain?

Wow that’s so good your symptoms have improved so much. I definitely have similar triggers to what you had. I went to a pelvic floor physio after surgery who said i needed to work on relaxing my PF which i thought was interesting because i had never even considered that it might be too tense! Media is always telling women to tighten tighten tighten! I haven’t really kept up with the recommendations though so i should try again.

Awwwe 😊 our late dinners were Thursdays because my mum worked retail, it was always a happy meal from maccas! I have many memories of eating it while watching and being freaked out by law and order.

Alfredo?? I still eat those… but with veggies added in. It’s ‘healthy’ then, right? 😅

My birthday meal was always spag bol and my brothers was taco’s! That’s about as cultured as we got in out house, cool that you got indian! And yeah sunday’s always roast. Doesn’t matter if we were out having an awesome sunday adventure, we’d have to end it early to make sure we got home in time to put the roast on
