Hi everyone. They put me on birth control periods and I feel even worse. The stomach pains are worse and I’m itchy and nauseated all the time. The only thing that had stopped is bleeding but I’m in more pain . I need advice I’m losing my mind

I'd suggest going back to your Dr. There's alot of different pills. It may be that you don't get on with this one but may get on better with another one. There's different active ingredients in different quantities etc. So it's a bit of trial and error to see if one works for you.

hi hun how's u doing? I'm sorry to hear that ur suffering, I have been given every combination of hormonal treatments and pain relief medications u can imagine. after 24yrs of this crap, I'm of the belief that hormonal treatments actually cause endometriosis to grow, causing more pain and more harm than good. try coming off the pill for a while and see if ur pain settles a bit. I wish you well and if u want to talk please let me know xxxx
