The pregnancy theory/myth?
So i've read multiple times on this platform that people feel better during pregnancy but worse after giving birth. During my last consultation i adressed that my body responds terrible on BC (complete exhaustion and extreme brainfog). The specialist surprisingly wasn't difficult about me stopping BC. He said that they noticed in their hospital that the endo sometimes just stops growing without BC and their current theory is that big hormonal shifts (like pregnancy) might freeze the growth of endo. I always thought that was sort of a myth repeated by desperate doctors. Are there actually any people who feel like their endo struggles froze after giving birth?
His colleague also wrote a book in which he cites a source (evers 2013) that claims that in 30% of females the symptoms increase, in 30% it stagnates and in 40% it decreases.
I'm a bit sceptical about the whole thing and i was wondering what other people think
