Originally I had made an appointment for my first surgery consult as a teenager, during that time I also started a sample of a new birth control pill called Natazia. During my first few months on Natazia, despite my body taking time to adjust, I had relief, I thought I didn’t need surgery for now. It would take me 8 months of fighting incusrance and trialing several different pills, causing immense pain, before I was able to find that legally they were required to give me this option. After everything else failed to improve my quality of life. I would go onto having a couple years where I barely noticed the daily pain, bleeding became infrequent and light. Last year I starting bleeding regularly again, then it got heavier, more painful, more frequent, longer. The daily pain came back tenfold. I started having pain before, during and right after going to the bathroom. I began waking up several times a night from the pain, regardelss of menstration. During all this I was dealing with increased pain and swelling in my whole body that worsened during mentration. I went to all sorts of specialists, all coming to the same conclusion; I have some sort of inflammatory disease. My bloodwork showed it, my body showed it, but nothing they could find was specific enough to figure out what was causing all these weird changes. This is only a fraction of what I had been feeling, and every month it was getting worse. I decided to tell my OBGYN that I wanted to move forward with surgery after the question of endometriosis would come up again and again.
