Possible endo returning

[Laura4550]

Hi I have been on cerezette for 2 years had no pain no bleeding whatsoever until the last few weeks on and off bleeding with cramp like period pain . Can anyone help has this happened to anybody else ? 10 years ago I had a laparotomy to remove a large chocolate cyst had ivf for my children , got fed up of the pain every month so went on the mini pill had no problems up until now

Hi, so sorry that you're struggling with symptoms again. Hopefully being symptom free for so long feels like a blessing.

Unfortunately hormone treatments for endo don't actually stop it, they only reduce symptoms. So, while we may feel better, it can still be continuing to grow. It's probably worthwhile getting a referral to gynae and being assessed.

Thank you I do feel blessed to be symptom free for so long it was like a miracle pill having suffered since 10 years old! I’ve got pms symptoms to so do think the mini pill isn’t working anymore 😢xx
