Aa
Is it time for laparoscopy?
I'm 37 and positive I have endo: horrible cramps, heavy bleeding, exhaustion, never been pregnant, lots of gastro problems, constipation, etc.
I also gained 15 pounds in 2 months and went up two cup sizes with no change in diet or activity level whatsoever.
(Does endo cause weight gain??)
My new gyne said there's an 80% chance it's endo, put me on Lo Loestrin Fe which stopped my period after the first dose, but I had horrible side effects after just a few days. Within 24 hours of stopping, my period came back RAGING- worst cramps & heaviest bleeding ever.
I simply cannot handle hormonal treatments.
Should I schedule a lap ASAP?

yes do a lap, also look into bein tested for your thyroid, sounds like symptoms from that too
Thanks so much. I had an ultrasound the same visit he put me on Loestrin- no sign of cysts or fibroids. And I agree, hormonal BC is ridiculous! I'm amazed I have such awful reactions when other women seem to do fine.
Wow, I'm sorry you are going through this. Has your doctor scheduled you for and ultrasound? I would say that's first on the plate, then go ahead and schedule your lap. I can't take hormoness either - they give me AWEFUL migraines!! It's ridiculous!
I'm not sure if endo causes weight gain or not. At 15lbs in 2months I would actually be concerned - that's why I asked about the u/s. Definitely contact your doctor and get one set up then set up for a lap especially if he's suggeting an 80% chance of endo. Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me :-)
