I think I may have endometriosis despite using large amounts of progesterone! I am still waiting for a GP appointment but from my last experience, I do not have faith I will be taken seriously. This is the second month I have had sudden onset of excruciating pain on day 1 of my period - like the worst pain I have ever felt and its localised to my ovary area primarily on one side. It is the type of pain where you cannot think about anything else, makes me sweaty and want to vomit. I do not think its appendicitis, especially as it goes away after day 1 and its associated with menstruation. The last time it happened, I actually called the non-emergency line only to be told 'you know periods can be painful right? Take some co-codamol'. The NHS is USELESS unless you are actually about to die... even then...
Everything I read online, especially by @haidut , says this is estrogen driven and progesterone should help but I have been taking huge amounts of progesterone for months??? I have tried Progest-E but I feel better on a topical cream (its bioidentical, not progestin). I also take occasional cypro, aspirin and estroban.
Anyone have any thoughts as to what could be going on?! Or anything else I should try?
