Combined pill back to back for 6 months, does it work?

[rosequartz23]

I've been diagnosed with probable endo and taking combined pill for 6 months without a break as advised by gynae doctor, (no lap diagnosis)

Anyone else tried this? does it work? I know it's early days but symptoms are not changing/resolving? how long do I leave it before going back to the GP yet again?

I do this, to stop bleeding. But this was after my first surgery. If you're in pain the pill isn't necessarily going to stop that.

Hi, my consultant recommended this at first but it didn't help me, my pain was too much. My symptoms didn't improve after 30 days so I went back and got booked in for a lap. I was holding out for it to work but consultant said it should kick in sooner than 30 days. Hope you feel better soon x
