Endometriomas and the contraceptive pill

I have endometriomas and am trying to conceive. As all fertility procedures have been postponed for the foreseeable future, they recommended I go on the pill to try and reduce the size of the endometriomas. Just wanted any recommendations on which ones people have found beneficial - combined or progestogens?

I personally find the combined pill better as I become quite ill with progesterone methods. Sometimes it is a bit trial and error with contraceptives so it can take a few different types to find out what works best for you.
