IUD & Birth Control Options

Hi!

I’ve received a clinical diagnosis for both endometriosis and adenomyosis. What birth control methods do you use to control your symptoms for both or either, and what is your experience? I am experiencing severe clotting and pain during my periods, which my provider has atttributed to adeno, and debilitating ovulation pain that radiates to my back and hips, which she has attributed to endo.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I have both endo and adeno as well! I’m 21 and have had an iud and been on the shot, and have had many forms of the pill. I am on a new one now that my surgeon recommended after my surgery and i haven’t had any side effects. it’s also supposed to be a medication for the adeno so it’s a two in one. It’s called slynd

Thanks for your insight! I see that slynd works by suppressing ovulation. Were you having ovulation pain? I’m really interested in something to help with that AND possibly not getting a period
