Giving up work due to endometriosis and ttc

2 replies

I’m having a week off every month due to endometriosis. I can’t have any treatment as ttc as they are all hormonal.

Im feeling so down but I just can’t carry on like this with 7-10 days every 28 absolutely ruined where I can’t function. I’m thinking of giving up temporarily to manage symptoms and ttc and then going back to work eventually if I’m lucky enough to conceive (which looks unlikely tbh).

It won’t ruin my career as I don’t have one I’ve just been doing agency cleaning so can go back to it at any point with no damage to my earning potential. I just can’t carry on this unwell.

Also has anyone found anything that actually helps relieve symptoms that isn’t hormonal ?

Hello. So sorry you’re going through this. The only thing that helped me was excision with a top doctor - after 6years of infertility I then fell pregnant. Is this an option? I know it costs money but do you have health insurance etc? Xx
