Living with Endometriosis: Seeking Alternatives to Hormonal Contraceptives

im super weird about hormones because of my mental health and i just hate how they mess with my body so im trying everything to avoid them. im going to see a naprotechnology surgeon for excision in march because at their practice they dont use hormonal medications if possible and im tired of that being the only thing doctors do...so im keeping my fingers crossed for that 🤞

I was on the pill from 15 to 21. I also had the Mirena coil from 19-20 too. Currently (at 22) don’t take any hormonal contraceptives as they play too much havoc on my moods and I also get migraines. I’m on various other meds for my endometriosis pain management (I also have fibromyalgia too). I’ve had two surgeries (at 20 and 22) and tried most medications on offer to people with endometriosis at some stage or another! There’s definitely other options medication-wise than just hormonal contraceptives! Wishing you symptom-free days 💛
