It can actually be good for endometriosis as it can slow the growth of the endo tissue and help make it less painful. It mimics pregnancy and endo tissue growth slows during pregnancy. The site endometriosis.org has some good explanation under the 'treatments' section. Everyone reacts differently to different things so it requires some trial and error to determine what side effects each will give you. Hope this helps. I can't personally speak for PCOS x

Thank you for your reply. I am now waiting for a hormone blood test to be done to see if I lack in anything. a physiotherapist I have been seeing says microgynon is not a good pill for endometriosis. so I am very confused at the moment of what to do because my gynie wanted me to go on it.
