New watch from buyee arrived earlier this month! I wish Buyee wasn’t so addictive tbh lol

Enjoyed adding some custom watch faces :)

I’ve experienced heavy and painful periods since they first started, I have a high pain tolerance and this was always just brushed off. Last year I asked my doctor to check my hormones, he felt it wasn’t necessary. I discussed this again with my new doctor and he felt it was worth exploring endometriosis. I felt so grateful to have a male doctor who was very open to the idea and viewed it worth exploring.

I had my pelvis scans done, and bloodwork. I don’t have the scan report but I can see the images, and my bloodwork is all over the place which is concerning. I’ll see my doctor next week, and I’m guessing an mri and referral to a specialist would be next steps?

Measurements show a “bulky uterus” my ovaries are on the small side and seem to be squished by tissue.

I have a few other chronic illnesses but didn’t think this would be a path I’d be exploring this year.

For those of you who have been through this process, is there anything you wish you knew early in the journey?
