Yes ask your GP to prescribe Norethisterone.

I know it's not a nice thought but it's really beneficial if you are having your period when they do a laparoscopy. This is because any endometriosis implants will also be bleeding... And so easier to see.

Best of luck.

Ask for the combined pill that will stop your period xx

I honestly suggest you bear with the pain as much as you can. When you have a period your endo will bleed which will make it a lot more visible to the surgeon and you will have a higher chance of it being removed than if you dont bleed because it'll be harder for them to see.

I know its hard, but please try to bear with it that way you will hopefully have a better outcome in the end x
