Did you still have lesions while on it? Did you still get cysts while on it? Do you have symptoms that feel like IBS, but it's not? What else are you on and how is it helping?

My Gyno put me on it as my last resort after trying every other birth control. I'm 28 and was diagnosed and confirmed of endo in 2021 for emergency surgery on "grapefruit sized cyst" on my ovary.

I'm sorry you went through that with it. I'm reaching 2 years soon. It took the pain away for awhile, but then the pain came back. Also, what's the mini pill? Does that help with endo?

Have you been on it for 2 years? The max time you can be on that pill due to side effects is 2 years so if you’re past that point i would talk to your doctor. I was on it for a few months earlier this year and it was horrible. I bled non stop and had the most crippling back pain and cramps ever. Went back on the mini pill and have been doing okay since then. I would just definitely be concerned about the long term side effects of that pill
