#TBT To when our @theendo.co founders met in real life for the first time 😍. For those of you who are new to following @theendo.co: Welcome! We are so happy that you found us! This little community started in 2017 when Jay (@lifeabove_endo) and Natalie (@natalie_archer) met here on Instagram and found that they shared many similarities in their struggle to find proper care for #endometriosis. A mutual passion and frustration for wanting to see those with endometriosis properly educated and properly treated led to starting The Endometriosis Coalition. Since 2017, we’ve expanded our team and welcomed @schurr_jillian and @megconnolly on board! The internet has been such a resourceful tool for us to spread awareness and education, and connect with other endo warriors! . . . . . Comment below what people or pages have been helpful to you in your endometriosis journey💛
Summer is here! And with that comes the expectation to do more things, be more places, and see more people. It’s hard not to say “yes” to everything, but the fear of missing out is so real! Our bodies are pretty good at letting us know when we’ve pushed it too far, so make sure you take some moments to listen to what it’s telling you. We hope this summer you find a healthy balance of self care that works for you ☀️
We are really excited to share that we will be co-hosting a special event for our Southern California endo family! We’re honored and proud to be partnering with @endowhat to bring you a safe place to learn more about endometriosis and pelvic health! Mark your calendars, and stay tuned for more details. I can’t wait to meet some of you! xx Jay
The endometriosis space has changed a lot in the last few years. We have educated ourselves and empowered ourselves both in the doctor's office and the public space. People know what endometriosis is. And more frequently people know the perpetual myths surrounding the disease - especially in this amazing online community 🙏🏼 ✨ So we have a question for you. What is the next step? What would help empower you to advocate for yourself and others? What do you want to see from us? ✨ #endometriosissupport #endometriosisawareness
Sunshine is like magic for me. I lie in the sun and all of a sudden my pain drops a few notches. But obviously I can't do that all day 😣 So when it's not sunny I opt for an Epsom salt bath (and I mean like at least two cups of salts in the bath). What are your pain tricks?

Congratulations to our very own @schurr_jillian on her graduation from law school today! She’s living proof that we shouldn’t let endometriosis rob us of all of our dreams. We are so proud of you Jill, and are grateful to have you on our team !
This week is National Infertility Awareness Week. We know this subject is a very sensitive one for our community. This speaks for those who may or may not want children but are infertile: we don’t want any of you to forget how worthy you are 💛. xx The Endo Co . . . . . 📷: @momaftergodsownheartshop
April is Adenomyosis awareness month. Some of you may know adenomysis as “endo’s ugly twin sister”, as the two conditions are often co-existing. In fact, Jenneh, Jillian, and Natalie were all diagnosed with both endo and adeno. Symptoms of #endometriosis can overlap. These include: uterine cramping, radiating pain to the upper back, hips, and front of legs, pain during intercourse, heavy periods, painful urination, and painful bowel movements. Adenomyosis can either be diffuse (spread throughout the uterus), or be found as nodules. The only cure for #adenomyosis is complete removal of the uterus, or hysterectomy. MRI imaging may hint at a diagnosis of adenomysis, but it is not 100% accurate in detecting changes when the disease is diffuse. A highly trained specialist may be able to suspect Adenomyosis from your pelvic exam, and from the feel of your uterus during a laparoscopy. If you’ve had expert excision for endometriosis, and continue to have these symptoms, Adenomyosis could be the cause! Visit the link in our bio to learn more 💛.
