Hi madtabby I was on the pill for 5 to 6 months before finally getting my lap op only yesterday unfortunately I never felt the benifit of the pill at all I underwent surgery to remove my endo. I did find however certain foods can help if u search best foods to eat with endo that such help the stomach pains. Hope u feel better soon and demand to be referred to hospital so that a proper gyne can advise you of ur choices. My doctors told me I was young and to manage the pain but gyne said to have the lap everyone is different tho.
