It might be worth going back to the doctor and trying a different pill if you are still suffering in another two weeks. My doctor has recommended the coil as the best method of contraception for endo, so that might be an option for you.

Hi lovelylaura, I think you should go back. Did you see a dr GP or a gynaecologist?

I tried lots of types of pill. Yasmin was the most effective. But that has stopped suiting me and I am considering coming off it.

I've heard good things about the mirena coil and that will be my next port of call I think. The other drugs like provera scare me.

Go back to your drs and push for a referral. X
