I am on the Implant, and have been told by my doc to stay on it due to its ability to slow down endo growth.

Sorry to hear ur having such problems. I took a natural approach back in 1995 thx to a great registered nutritionist and avoided any more surgeries n have been pain free since 1996. I wrote my success story to help other women if u would like to read it.

Hugs,
