Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Depo birth control shot

Robyn,

I am sorry to hear you are having such a tough time. Your post made me think.....Considering I am a blonde
you should be proud LOL

Anyways - my sister had very painful periods since we were young. She had trouble with every birth control
pill. She tried everything and still suffered for about 5 years.

Last year she was diagnosed with endometriosis. It's very common amoung women, but very few doctors
know about it. What happens is there is a problem with your tubes, ovaries etc and instead of your blood
from your period coming out it wants to flow back inside causing severe pain.

She just got surgery for it and is so much better for it! Maybe you should speak with your doctor about that-
it really sounds like the same thing.

I don't know anything about the Depco birth Control. But it sounds to me that your problem started before the
taking of this Depco so I don't think these symptoms are from this.

I know I am not a doctor, but I remember my sister screaming in pain and she had been in and out of doctors
offices for 5 years and finally was diagnosed.

I hope you will start feeling better soon and that you will be able to find out what is wrong!
