Amitriptyline for neuropathic pain
I was prescribed Amitriptyline for neuropathic pain, which has really helped my endometriosis symptoms--I have less cramping, fewer "phantom UTIs," and my leg pain (not sure how it related) went away, too. It also helps me go to sleep, which is great because I was also dealing with a bit of insomnia. HOWEVER, my GYN failed to mention to me that this medicine is traditionally created as an anti-depressant!! I have no problem with that, but I wish that had been clear when prescribed. An FYI for anyone received "pain" meds in the future.

Cost of freezing eggs
What are people getting quoted for egg freezing? it's super expensive! I have a friend that got her eggs frozen in Spain because it's a lot more affordable, but it feels weird to freeze my eggs so far away in another country.

How to get endometriosis diagnosis?
I'm pretty sure I have endometriosis or a similar condition. My doctor says that everything I'm experiencing is normal, but I don't feel like it is. I’ve read the symptoms: painful periods, pain with sex, fatigue, bloating, nausea. That’s me. How can I advocate for my doctor to take me seriously and investigate if I have endometriosis?
