TLDR can the body "get used to" Aygestin and start adjusting hormone production to "push through" it and bring back symptoms that were well-managed? could a higher dose fix it, or is that just kicking the can down the road? -- Hi guys, I'm 29 and not currently diagnosed with Endo but I've suspected it for awhile, and my gynecologist recently independently mentioned it was possible I have it based on my symptoms. I know stuff like painful periods and fatigue and bloating can be caused by a million different conditions, I do want to pursue a definitive diagnosis but that's for another day, I've had my symptoms dismissed several times before and it's hard to keep pushing. I do have diagnosed PCOS, and I'm also taking testosterone for gender transition. In March of this year my gyno prescribed me 5mg Aygestin because I was still ovulating/developing painful cysts on Micronor. This worked extremely well for awhile, my mood and energy levels were great, no periods or ovulation, bloating went down, and I was able to manage my fatigue by getting enough electrolytes and water and eating small meals in the morning (I also have mild POTS). But over the last week or two my fatigue and bloating have crept back in despite being really on top of my POTS management stuff that had been helping. I look pregnant and I have no energy or focus. I've also been experiencing mood changes for the past week (irritability and crying easily), had pain in one of my ovaries, mild cramping, and passed a little of that eggy cervical mucus that I associate with ovulation. I don't know if my body is trying to ovulate through it like it did with Micronor, but I feel awful and can't get anything done around the house or at work. Could my body be adjusting its hormone production to "push through" the Aygestin? Is this a thing that happens? Could raising my dose help, or will the same thing just keep happening? I do plan to ask my gyno all of these things next time I can see her but would like to hear others' experiences in the meantime.   submitted by   /u/Crowfiee [link]   [comments]
