Plan b, yasmis pill and stress cause worsening of syptoms?

Hello, i used to have only painful periods until i was 24, last year I took a plan b pill and the following week I had excruciating pain on my pelvic area. I called and they said it was normal, from then I had pains outside of my period 3 or 4 days per week. Tired of it I asked my gynecologist (before she knew I had endo and seeing nothing strange in the revision) to give me the pill. She suggested yasmin, high in estrogens ... after a month of taking that pill I had constant pain and it will never stop. I quit the pill 4 months ago but the pain has stayed with me. Fuck! Did i worsen my symptoms taking these pills? I regret taking the plan b pill so much

hi hun how's u doing? I'm sorry to hear that ur suffering 🙁 I had the exact same symptoms, every time I was given any hormonal treatment the pain would increase dramatically then I would stop the treatment and the pain would eventually level out.After doing this dance 7 different times I've come to the conclusion based on my own personal experience (some Dr's also agree with this theory) that hormonal treatments feed and cause endometriosis to grow. I wish I never had any hormonal treatments, it's just made everything worse, I can't work anymore due to pain and blood loss 🙁 if you eva fancy a chat or rant plz pm me, hope you feel better soon xxx
