Hi Jennifer C.,
Yes, we wish you luck!! I wish I could reassure you about the Depo, but
only time will tell, so don't fret now. We will all survive, it's just
a matter of how well we use the painless times. Let us know how it
goes, I will be thinking of you...
luck and love,

Hi everyone,

>with each passing month. I'm scared that the Depo didn't help much at
>all and that I'll have to go through another lap. That's one thing I

>it's the coming out of it I hate. And the recovery part is awful, too.
>I'm scared oou of my mind. I guess the main reason why I'm so scared is
>that I'm afraid of what my gyn. is going to find whenhe does the pelvic

>yeah....note my absence of excitement there). I was on them once

>be put on bcp's that are straight bcp's - no sugar pills or placebos.
>The one thing that has me so worked up is that the past few weeks I've

>Before my last lap., I was in stage 3 of endo. I really don't want it
