One GP suggested I take the pill without the sugar tablets for 2-3 months at a time and that helped, but the months I did take the sugar tablets were agony.
this is what i'm doing right now, and originally i could 'build myself up' and sort of prepare for the week, but now the pain is constant so it doesn't matter, although the sugar tablet week is just hell.


thankyou both so so much for all of your help! the fact that it could lead to infertility scares me the most, i think. it's comforting to hear that others have the same thing (although i feel awful you have to go through it too)

i wonder why it takes so long to diagnose? for something that can be so debilitating, especially.

is a laparoscopy worth it, do you think? i'm just worried i'll have such an invasive operation and they won't find anything, although then at least i'll know one way or another.
