Hello, first post on here.... I have just been diagnosed with endometriosis but a mild case, I have severe symptoms so advised to go back on to the millinette pill. I came off it a year ago as I was 30 and been on it since I was 16. Doc said being on the pill may help my pain from endometriosis but been on it a week and I'm bloated and gassy. Has anyone else had this reaction if so any advice on how to resolve it. It's getting me so down.

Thanks

Hey,

Sorry to hear you are going through that, I know how horrible it is! Have you tried peppermint tea or if you are like me and cant stomach the stuff peppermint capsules? I find when I am really bloated out that they help a bit to make me more comfortable

I think they said it usually takes around 3 months for your body to get used to being on the pill (I could be wrong with the timing...), so in a few months things might settle down for you, otherwise you can ask to try a different one. I had to try about 4 before I found one that didn’t have terrible side effects!
