It didn’t help me either.

Yes I meant that it didn't change my symptoms much. My cycle was still the same duration and amount and my pain level didn't change much. When I say much, I mean the pain was still significant enough that I knew this wasn't going to be the answer to my Endo pain.

For me, it did lessen the bleeding significantly, and the overall pain, but I ended up going off of it because the side effects for me were awful.
The first couple of months I had terrible mood swings.
Then headaches started. They increased in frequency and severity until I was having a migraine once a week. The pill also increased my intra-ocular pressure, causing me to need a stronger eyeglass perscription. Eyes went back to normal after I went off of it.I did gain a bit of weight but that could have just me being in my 20s and not taking care of myself. The other weird thing was for several months after I went off of it, I had a burning pain in my bellybutton for the first two weeks of my cycle.

I took that for awhile. It was the last one I was on before my hysterectomy. It didn't really change much for me. I didn't have any of the side effects, but I know everybody is different. Honestly, I've been on a LOT of different birth controls for Endo purposes and that's the only one I didn't have side effects with. I hope that everything works out for you with it.

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member thank you for sharing your experience with me! I will take that into consideration. With treatments I find that you really have to weigh the benefits against the side effects. Any BC or treatment recommendations that had a benefit that outweighed the side effects for you?
