Kate - oh I have found my moods absolutely fine on the pill (although being off it this month I have been exceptionally horny!!! lol). The only other thing I do is take nurofen when I feel the first few niggles, to nip it in the bud as it were. I guess that helps with my moods because I feel more in control (if that's possible)]]> Fri, 09 May 2008 22:23:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16962&PID=379531&title=i-hate-endo-club#379531 <![CDATA[I hate endo club : Could you try something herbal...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16962&PID=377766&title=i-hate-endo-club#377766 Author: mummy_becks

Becks we must be on opposite cycles cause I was about to write the same thing about my Ov pains! I was gonna say something about enough rants from me for another week or so Everything has just eased so much this afternoon, so relieving.

Kate, the only thing I found helpful with the mood swings was the BCP, which isn't too helpful if you're TTC! Pain upon pain upon pain just mucks with your mind after a while, soooo depressing! After having 5mos on BCP and about 3 weeks off, my moods have been ok, but I don't think it would take me long (like 2-3 mos) and I'll be at despair from the hopelessness spiral of pain etc that endo brings ]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 16:41:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16962&PID=377368&title=i-hate-endo-club#377368 <![CDATA[I hate endo club : Do any of you other ladies get...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16962&PID=377133&title=i-hate-endo-club#377133 Author: minik8e

oo Lou I'd be so mad! At least you don't have to wait 6mos again.

Kelly, you can check out nzendo as a starting point of symptoms etc for your friend. Basically it means a lot of little growths inside that can stick in between organs and therefore cause a lot of pain at Ovulation/period times (or both or all month long). Symptoms vary far and wide, mostly depending on where it is in the body.

I think my Ov is over for this month. Phew! Yesterday and today at work were very long and I mostly sat down and did data entry stuff. A good thing my boss is away and it's not busy! *sigh* if I'm not pg this month, I'm going back on BCP. I still have most of the same symptoms but I have to admit that it is better at this part of the month.]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 17:58:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16962&PID=376441&title=i-hate-endo-club#376441 <![CDATA[I hate endo club : Oooohhh Guess what... after 6...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16962&PID=375773&title=i-hate-endo-club#375773 Author: LuluBelle85

Oooohhh

Guess what... after 6 months of waiting after my first surgery got declined (a week before) - My date was given to me for this week (May 8th) and guess what.

JUNIOR DOCTORS STRIKE!!!

Got my 'your surgery has been postponed' letter in the mail two days ago.

So close to ripping my hair out.

So anyways, new date... 29th of May (providing it's not postponed because of something else)

thanks becks and mink8e , i think in her case its one of those random ones, noone else in her family (that she knows about ) has endo,but there may be someone she missed .
Does it affect fertility or is that a common misconception? sorry for all the questions! im really ignorant and i want to be able to tell her all i know about it :-) , not sure what drugs shes on, i wonder if that caused the weight gain.

Wow becks.....so pretty much your entire female part of your family has it,does that mean if you were to have a girl she would be very highly likely to get it as well?

And then sometimes it's also completely random - I'm the first in my family to get it - yay for me! But it apparently can be passed down through family.

I don't know about the weight thing though - I haven't put on any weight except because of the normal things like overeating, if anything I've lost it since I was diagnosed.   ]]> Mon, 05 May 2008 22:01:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16962&PID=375733&title=i-hate-endo-club#375733 <![CDATA[I hate endo club : Of course not Kelly I think...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16962&PID=375724&title=i-hate-endo-club#375724 Author: mummy_becks

Of course not Kelly

I think endo is heriditary - my sisters, my mum, my aunties, my female cousins all have it . Do you know what drugs she is on?? If its the pill it is possible that it has caused the weight gain.

Endo is basic terms is growths on the inside bits that shouldn't be there. usually found on the tubes, ovaries and uterus. Servere cases include bladder and bowel (and i'm lucky enough to have those ).

HTH.

I don't have endo , so i hope you don't mind me gate crashing the thread, my bestfriend however was diagnosed a few months ago.
Im kinda on here on her behalf (she doesnt have internet access) see the thing is, she has endo-but we dont really know what that means? can someone explain it in basic terms?
also , is it normal to put on weight? shes always been a size 8,except when she was pregnant with her daughter, but even then she went back to 8kgs after a couple of months, but since being diagnosed with endo shes about size 16, which worries her, could that be the drugs?
And is endo heriditary ? or can it be caused by other things?

I'm with ya's. I'm not only over endo, I'm totally freaked out at times too. My specialist apmt is finally coming up next week!!! For which I am grateful but I know it's probably only the half-way mark. I've just had my first really, really painful AF since my doctor suggested endo last year. My worst times are actually with Ov, which I think is today. I'm only allowed 6 nurofen in 24 hours so I'm saving one for bedtime, that's how bad it's been for me today. I told the Nurse who did my B12 injection that she couldn't possibly hurt me after the constant pain I've had all day (I'm talking 6-7/10 on the pain scale for all of today since I woke).

I've also had my first mid-cycle spotting, it totally freaked me out. I think one of my ovaries is stuck to... something... because it jars and pulls at times, when I'm walking or lying on my side.

Argh

Hopefully we have successful BD this month (no pill) and I can have an easier op waiting time.....]]> Mon, 05 May 2008 20:55:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16962&PID=375654&title=i-hate-endo-club#375654 <![CDATA[I hate endo club : Mum2Sam wrote:Thank god for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16962&PID=375633&title=i-hate-endo-club#375633 Author: mummy_becks

I was very fertile after having it removed the first time. I got pregnant 2 months after the surgery.

I would like to have another lap but my gyne doesn't want to go in again until he rips it all out. However he has said that he will do it if in September I am still in pain. I'll be in Oz then so may look at getting it done in June when I am here.

Me. Have AF again now - 8 days between the end of the last one and the start of this one. Fun. I'm a cow, I get highly emotional, I take industrial strength painkillers and people have learnt not to peeve me off. DF just stays away from me. And I haven't even started the family yet and won't even start TTC until the end of the year.

I so hate my endo so much.

AF arrived on Friday and ever since then I have been in pain (as in needing to take drugs every 4 hours) since then. And as its on my bowels I am almost living in the bathroom . It is such an evil thing that I really wouldn't wish on anyone.

I also wish I was 30 so I could say to my gyne just rip it all out I don't want it anymore. but I have a feeling that when I do finally have my hystorectomy I will need to have a bowel surgeon there too so that bits of my bowels can be taken out as its all over my bowels as well.

I do want a 3rd child, but I don't want a girl and i'm getting sick of people saying that I only want to have 3rd child is to have a girl - I don't I don't want to put a child of mine through all of this too.

So who's with me and hating endo???
