I recently got diagnosed with endometriosis. I was previously on the evra birth control patches. However after seeing my gynecologist she's gave me desogestrel to try for 3 months. I've read online many bad things about them and honestly I'm freaking out about taking them? I know I shouldn't have googled it but I couldn't resist. Could any one shed some light into their experience of this mini pill please?

Hey Louise,

why don’t you check out Nancy Nook endometriosis education. One of the lady just mentioned and I joined the group and it had wealth of knowledge. I promise non of you will be disappointed. When signing they ask theee questions and we are not allowed to ask questions for the first week. We have to explore to understand. It mentions about the hormones too
