What stage of endo do you have and how many months did it take to conceive?

Stopped spiro due to trying to conceive. My skin is so insanely oily. If I shower in the morning, my hair is oily by the evening. Will this settle down? I’ve been off for about three weeks. This is terrible. Also, did you take it while pregnant?

I recently had lower back surgery with hardware placed. I want to do an elective c-section someday. I don’t hear a lot of people talk about this. I’m afraid vaginal birth will be traumatic for my back. I’ve had four different surgeries as an adult so I know I can handle recovery pain. What was your experience? Never had a baby before. I also think it would be nice to know the exact day my baby would come.

What does this mean? Could I be pregnant?

Edit: Haven’t experienced this symptom before.

Thursday and Friday my tests showed a light line that I was about to ovulate. Saturday night and this morning the tests are negative. Using Easy@Home. Were my faint positives when I was ovulating?

Wondering how long it’ll take my body to regulate coming off BC?

I’ve been on norethindrone for two years and just recently stopped. I’m anxiously waiting for my period to return. What has been your experience coming off birth control that stopped your period? I’m just so afraid it’s gonna take months and months for my body to regulate my cycles. Prior to being on birth control my cycles were regular, but on the short side of normal. Usually about 28 days with long periods.

I stopped long term norethindrone and I’m still waiting on my period. It’s been 10 days. What was your experience? I was on it two years.

Wondering how long it would take me to get pregnant. I’m 30 yo. I have had two surgeries for endometriosis stage 2. Last surgery was 2 years ago. I have been on BC for endometriosis since my last surgery.

I have medium length, frizzy hair, with a lot of layers. My hair is super thick. I have frizzy, very ununiform waves. I’m looking for easy bun/updo ideas. With how layered and thick my hair is a lot of buns don’t work. I don’t like wearing my hair down/natural because my waves are so crazy. I have pieces that are almost straight and some that are curly. I don’t like claw clips.

I need recommendations for a good microneedling stamp/pen. Something that you can replace the needles on.

My discharge paperwork from my surgeon recommends avoiding driving or riding in a car. It says it will NOT delay healing but may cause extra pain. All my other research says driving can delay fusion. So I don’t know what to believe.

I’m an almost 30yo female. I’ve had terrible acne since 12. Even took Accutane for a short period. I started metformin 4 months ago. My skin looks the best it’s ever had, but I recently changed my skincare routine as well. Has anyone else had major improvements with their acne on metformin?
