Living with endometriosis

An endometriosis symptom tracker for pain that has been called normal for too long

A chronic illness tracker and gentle companion that already knows what endometriosis can involve, so you do not have to explain it from scratch.

What endometriosis can involve

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows elsewhere in the body, most often around the pelvis. It can cause severe period pain, pelvic pain at other times of the month, pain during or after sex, painful bowel or bladder symptoms, bloating, fatigue and difficulty getting pregnant.

It's common (around 1 in 10 women and people assigned female at birth) and yet diagnosis takes years, because the pain is so often dismissed as something to put up with. A month-by-month record of what actually happened is very hard to wave away.

On average it takes 9 years and 4 months from a first GP visit to get a diagnosis of endometriosis in the UK.

Symptoms checklist

Endometriosis symptoms checklist to take to your GP

Tick what applies to you, note how often it happens, and take it to your appointment, so the conversation starts further along. It describes your experience. It does not say what is causing anything: ticking most of these does not mean you have Endometriosis, and ticking a few does not mean you do not. Only a clinician can work that out with you.

The list comes from the NHS and charity sources linked further down this page, and from what people living with endometriosis tell us they keep an eye on. It is a starting point, not a test.

How a day can feel

If your days sound anything like this, taluvu was made with you in mind.

  • “I was told this is normal period pain. It isn't.”
  • “I plan my whole month around my cycle.”
  • “I'm so tired of being sent away.”
  • “It took years for anyone to take me seriously.”
  • “The pain reaches into parts of my life nobody asks about.”

These are the kinds of things taluvu invites you to say in your own words, never a checklist of what anyone “should” have.

What taluvu helps you keep track of

Choose Endometriosis and it starts you with a palette, not a blank form.

These are things people living with endometriosis often want to keep an eye on. Remove any you do not need, add your own, and check in with a few taps on the days you have very little to give.

  • Pelvic pain
  • Period pain
  • Fatigue
  • Bloating (endo belly)
  • Nausea
  • Back or leg pain
  • Painful bladder or bowel
  • Low mood around periods
  • A journal in your own words, not a score
  • A plain-English week view of what stands out
  • A Doctor Summary you own and can print
  • Your care team’s details in one place

taluvu never claims one thing caused another. It shows what's worth noticing and leaves the medicine to your doctor. See how the symptom tracker app works.

Questions people ask

Endometriosis and taluvu, in plain answers.

Short, honest answers about what taluvu does and does not do for endometriosis. Nothing here is medical advice.

Is taluvu an endometriosis tracker app?

Yes. Endometriosis is built in, with a starting palette of pelvic pain, period pain, fatigue, bloating, nausea, back or leg pain, painful bladder or bowel symptoms and low mood around periods. You choose what stays, add your own, and write the rest as you would say it.

Can I record where I'm in my cycle?

Yes. You can note where you are in your cycle in a check-in or the journal, so pain and other symptoms are read alongside it. taluvu isn't a period tracker and doesn't predict dates; it keeps your own record of what happened and when.

Will a record help if my pain keeps being called normal?

A month-by-month account of what actually happened, kept at the time, is much harder to wave away than memory. The Doctor Summary puts that record in plain words you can take into an appointment. It is not a diagnosis, and it does not replace your own care team.

Is my endometriosis record private?

Your check-ins, journal and notes stay on your device, whether that is your iPhone or the browser you use taluvu in. You can export a copy or delete everything from inside the app, and nothing is sold or passed to advertisers. When you message Asha, your words are sent securely so she can reply; the Privacy Policy sets out exactly what.
