I agree. I have been taking Nortrel continuously since June, 2005. It has helped with the pain and PMDD.

All of those suppressive drugs cause bone loss and many times permanent bone loss. It has also been proven that Orilissa, Lupron, Depo, and GnRH agonists do NOT help endo in any way, shape, or form.

The gold standard of treatment is excision by a vetted endometriosis EXCISION specialist. There are not many who are experts. Many doctors say they are and then perform ablation which DOES NOT work!!

Try and find right drug that works for u alot people used lurpon but it mite not be strong enough drug for u. Or it may not work with the injection u on.

I know! One of the things my gyn told me that was helpful is to do what feels right because that’s important too. And treatment is less likely to work if you’re worried. But then sometimes it’s hard to know what feels right.

Also, I feel like I should add a disclaimer that this is not medical advice! I'm not a doctor yet and so I can't give you medical advice. Just looked up a stat for your information :)
