Hello Ladies, I was just wondering if anyone has experience of taking the combined pill continuously as treatment for their Endo pain?

I took it continuously for 3 months (then had a break and did another 3 months) it didn't help me at all, I was still experiencing all my pains, aches, twinges. Obv it's different for everyone but a dr could probably advise you on the average time it takes to see improvements. Good luck.

Thanks so much for your reply Samredgrift. Think I will persevere for a while longer and if no improvement go back to the Dr. Thanks again, K.T xx
