Hi Olivia, in the last 10 years I have had 7 laps and 7 d&c's for pain and
heavy bleeding. None of them helped for very long at all, max 18 months.
I have done the BCP thing, as well as the hormone thing, I will not be doing
that again either. I have three children already, but would perhaps like
another, Doctors are recomending a hyst.
I can reallt relate to family, friends not understanding. You've got to walk
the walk to be able to talk the talk. Anyway, I get tired of trying to
explain what endo is all the time. ( I wrote and printed a leaflet that I
give to everybody who asks me now.LOL)
Please read my reply to 'endo pain after total hyst (long reply) and you
will see how I am fighting back now.
We are all here for you anytime, you won't find a more caring group of women
anywhere.
