Gnrh and the combination pill

Hi, I have endometriosis and my gynaecologist has recommended me to start gnrh analogue. Currently I am on the combination pill rigevidon (I take it back to back as recommended for me) and I was wondering whether I have to stop taking the pill for a period of time and how long that time period would be before beginning the gnrh. Any help or advice would really be appreciated. Thanks x

Hi, I haven’t had GNRH but has been recommended to me I did used to be on regevidon though but now on pegestrone only , he said that if I were to take GnRh I would stop the pill and switch over almost instantly. I assume this is the same for combind pill hope this helps x
