    Default My uterus is sick :( WTF

    I went to the doctor today to get on a new form of birth control. I told him I had constant bleeding on Seasonale and he looked worried. He asked me a few other questions about my periods, and told me I need to get my hormones tested right now (get the results tomorrow) and get to the gyno for an exam and ultrasound ASAP. He called them and referred me, and when I called to schedule they said "Oh, Dr. (so and so's) patient, we'll cancel someone and get you in right away at 9 tomorrow"

    He mentioned endometriosis and a few other things.

    What the fuck! I am so freaked out. Endometriosis can lead to infertility!

    ^ yes, I bascially take the maximum amount of aleve my entire period, and they are really, really heavy. Like bleeding through an ultra tampon every three hours for the first two days.

    shepherd's purse and yarrow extracts can help with the bleeding for some women. you can drink a tea composed of both throughout the day or take 30-60 drops of each in a tincture (1-2 droppers full).

    also, taking ibuprofen every 4-6 hours 24 hours before your period starts will help with the pain and a little of the bleeding.

    endo sucks,
    but they can't really tell if you have it unless you have surgery,
    I would suggest havin the surgery-I recovered in about 3 days.
    They make two little incisions,one in your belly button,and one right above your hair line on your pubic area..
    They'll zap any endo cists that they see..My doc also zapped some of the nerves in my uterus which made my periods less painful.
    It's an as needed surgery though,in about a year 1/2 you might need to have the surgery again.
    It was well worth it for me though.

    ^^If it's bad enough to see in an ultra sound,then yes..
    But otherwise,you wont really get a definite answer unless you have surgery.
    Good luck though,if you have any other questions,you can PM me

    I hope everythings all right, Im sure your OK. Its probably a good idea to stop taking birth control if you can, that shit fucks your body up. I have all ways had problems with it. I dont think its very healthy in my opinion. When I am sexually active I use spermicide sheets they work well I never got knocked up and you can use condoms for back up when needed too. Dont stress im sure you ok.

    Endo can be treated by birth control, homone therapy(luprin) and only in extreme cases surgery. Endomitrious is more painful then anything. I have it and am also on seasonale, according to my doctors though that constant bleeding is your body regulating. You need to be on it for up to 6 months before that stops. This will be tmi, but if it is brown and mucus like it is your body regulating it.

    Try extra-strength midol mutli symptom and a heat pad for the pain that works best for me.

    As for getting off birth control if you do have endo. DO NOT it actually helps to thin your cervic lining so it is not so painful. If you are worried about birth control having a negative effect go to pegesterone based one instead of estrogen.

    I was on seasonique (or something) at one point (I think that's similar to seasonale), and it made me bleed lighter but pretty continuously. I stopped taking it, needless to say. I'm on Trinessa right now, and it has regulated my cycle. Maybe you just need to find the right BC pill...

    I never had painful periods until three years ago. Since then have actually gone to the hospital twice because the pain was that unbearable. I was told that I probably have endometriosis as well.

    Last year my doctor prescribed naproxen (anaprox). I take a quarter of a pill at a time (anti inflammatory, they reduce the inflammation and help to ease the pain of your uterus contracting and releasing with your period) and pain no more! Might help with the pain.

    Hope everything turns out ok... *hugs*

    Yeah atleast you know it not anything to do with that. So how did the ultrasound go. Maybe you just need to switch birth control brands.

    I was diagnosed with endometriosis at age 14 after having problems since age 12 with heavy bleeding, passing huge blood clots and extreme pain.. I was put on birth control at an early age to try to clear it up, and also on the depo shot to try to stop my periods completely...They couldnt figure out what was wrong with me.. did ultrasounds bloodwork etc, and would just give me shots of demerol and send me home.. Finally they did an emergency surgery....I had the surgery done twice.. D&C and laproscope.. My dr says it can continue to grow back... I hadnt had periods in the last few years and ended up pregnant earlier this year...I was told it would be nearly impossibly for me to get pregnant.. but I guess my man just has supersperm

    Ive also had an extremely painful/rough pregnancy.. Spotting and bleeding the whole time, diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and contractions at about 30 weeks, amongst other things.. They cant figure out why the contractions started so early but I have a hunch its the endo... MOST pregnancies are supposed to clear it up.. But OF COURSE I'd be the exception...

    Good luck! Its a definitely a rough road!
