How long does the POP take to work?

I’m wondering how long it took before your Endo pain reduced after having been put on the progesterone only pill?

I've been taking it since April 2019, I have stage 4 endo and have been basically symptom free since May 2019, (it's completely stopped my periods which is great) for me destrogel has been amazing!

Thank you redcurrant. I started taking it late August and have been almost symptom free (in comparison to the hell I lived through earlier this year!) for about a month now…..so after about a month of taking it. I was worried I was seeing a reduction in symptoms too soon and that it might indicate everything was just in my head anyway.

I’m booked for my second lap on Thursday coming and I’m so worried they won’t find anything. They didn’t find anything during my first lap in 2016 but this time around they’re adamant it’s Endo and that it was just missed on the first lap. X
