In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own experience with hormonal therapy for endometriosis — from the initial relief of the contraceptive pill to the emotional and physical rollercoaster that followed.

We’ll explore the most commonly prescribed hormonal treatments — including the new pill (Relugolix combination therapy) — and what they actually do inside your body. You’ll learn what to expect, what questions to ask your doctor, and what side effects are often glossed over.

Whether you're considering treatment, in the thick of it, or feeling lost after trying “all the options,” this episode is here to help you feel informed, empowered, and far less alone.

In this episode, we cover:

* My real-life experience with the pill and implant

* Why hormonal treatments are used for endo

* A clear breakdown of the main options (including the new daily pill)

* What these therapies do, in simple terms

* Pros, cons, and what to watch out for

* How to manage common side effects like hot flushes and anxiety

* Why your healing journey is yours — and what to do if it no longer feels right
