Period blood to diagnose endometriosis
I've been seeing news (not sure if its fake news) on social media that says they can now diagnose endometriosis with period blood. Does anyone know how legitimate these claims are?

Endometriosis Surgery
Has anyone here had surgery to discover whether they have endometriosis? I'm really nervous but apparently, it's the only way to discover if it's there.

What is the take on compression stockings for flights? I've been advised differently by different doctors. Someone told me to only use when standing not sitting, Does anyone have advice on this?

Colposcopy
Just wanted to share an experience I had with a colposcopy I had recently. Be aware that this procedure is painful. If I had truly understood how painful it was I would have asked for pain relief before. It was explained to me as being as painless as getting your ears pierced. I have many piercings and that level of pain does not even come close. I wanted to share this so that if you are needing to get one to advocate for pain relief. A colposcopy is the most pain I have felt in my life, and I have broken bones and had other injuries.
