my diagnostic lap is booked for the end of March, I stopped my pill 3 weeks ago as I could deal with the constant bleeding, any way bleeding has stopped and I haven't had my period or a breakthrough bleed, I'm not pregnant for sure. should I take pill again or leave it now until after the lap??????

Hi sweet ultimately it doesn't matter either way- it's your personal preference. I have however heard that the pill can stunt the growths which makes endo harder to see during the lap. I wasn't taking the pill or other hormones and my surgeon did confirm that it was easier to identify. I was on my period at the time of the lap which meant it jumped out at him!!! Best of luck xxxx
