I stopped taking birth control earlier this year because I wanted to see how it affected my mental health. I’m now less anxious and fatigued than before but i’m wondering if I should start taking it again. After doing a lot of research I really think I may have endometriosis due to stomach inflammation, gas, bloating, painful periods, severe burning pain in my pelvic area where the uterus is, fatigue, gluten and dairy intolerance, and during my first pap smear a few days ago my dr said my cervix was red. So far my symptoms have just been assumed to be my IBS and mental health. I haven’t told my dr I stopped taking the pill. Should I just try taking it again now to see if the pain improves and tell my dr then, or just tell her now that my pain started after getting off the pill and ask about this? I don’t want to go back to more anxiety and fatigue but if it manages my pain I may have to start it again.
