Should I Start Taking Birth Control Again?

Hi! Definitely talk to your doctor before ever starting or stopping a medication. But there are so many options for managing your pain! I have tried many things so if you have any questions about endo let me know. But there are pills with less side effects and many other treatments in general available!

I think its best to tell you doctor that you are off the pill. It is a very strong possibility that your symptoms are endo related. In my opinion it’s best to write down a list of all the pros and cons. If you benefited more from the pill then you can always look into it again. For me, I am struggling to find something without hormones for pain currently. I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis earlier this year. After my lap I was advised to take the pill. I was on the pill for one month, in that time I became suicidal and nauseous to a point I was too dizzy to drive safely. I do understand that there is a “transitional period” but even after a week on the pill I turned into the worst version of myself. After this I decided that the pill is not something worthwhile because of its side effects. This isn’t meant to discourage you, it seems you were okay on the pill and it worked more than it harmed you. There are other forms of birth control out there that might be more suitable to you. With this said I definitely recommend talking to your doctor. I wish you luck!
