Is It Normal To Have Endo, But Not Be In Pain As Long As You Are Taking Birh Control? Does That Count As A Milder Form Of Endo?

I only have endo pain when i am not on birth control pills. Also I have never been able to have sex because the pain is too excruciating for me. Im not sure if that will help to answer the question but i tried :p

As far as I know the amount of pain is not an indicator of how mild or advanced your endo is. Birth control is a hormone and hormones are generally a great way to treat endo, and many people say that their symptoms are not as bad on birth control. Same with hormonal IUDs and the shot :)

Absolutely I had very mild pain while on birth control. The excruciating pain honestly didn't start until right before I got my tubes tied. They found my Endo then and when burnt off and was pain free for 6 months.
