Should I go back on the pill?

Hi everyone

After being diagnosed with endo in June, my partner and I decided to try for a baby. It took a few months for me to feel a little better after the lap and I felt great not taking the pill (and lost lots of weight!). Anyway, now stupidly I have changed my mind about wanting a child - I'm not ready. I'm just 23 and started a new career. I feel guilty about changing my mind but my partner and I talked about it and we were in agreement.

So, do I start on microgynon again? Or would seeing the doc first for other treatments be better?

Hope this is the right decision :-(

Thanks

Alice

Hi Bicky.

Similarly to your case initially my hubby and I said that we were going to try to have a baby. Then we realised that it was best to wait as we are beginning from 0 in a new country and still need some things sorted out.

In my case, the doctor said to take the pill for 12 weeks and then 1 week off. I think I might worth asking him/her what's the best for your case and then do it :-).

Regards.
