Any idea what's next?

Hi everyone.

Endo confirmed last November - textbook symptoms. I'm due to have my first op sometime after September, in the mean time they've been trying to stop me from coming on.

Contraceptive pills don't work, contraceptive injection has not worked, prostap is awful. Just wondered if anyone had any experience of what they'll suggest next - or if there's anything I can suggest to my doctors (they're useless).

I like the implant. It's worth a try as you can have it removed and it's out of your system quick. Its not the same as taking the pill equivalent.

Yeah I think my doctors are reluctant to put me on that as for some people it just makes them on all the time - i appear to be one of those people. Woo?

Thanks for the reply!
