Thank you both so much for your answers, they actually really helped point me in the right directions to discuss further options with my obgyn! I now see my obgyn at the end of the month, to talk about stopping the hormones and maybe surgery! thank you so much 💕. Xo

It is honestly something that doesnt have a concrete answer since every case of endo is different. I went birth control free for years. I too was on depo and it made me gain 40lbs and i was like no more. I stopped taking the pill due to it did nothing for me. I dont know if it made my endo worse or not. I felt better mentally not being on the hormones. As far as fertility, i had to have a child via ivf. But once again i blame endo in general for that.
