Hi Kasia, I suggest that you get hold of Belle Brown at the endo assoc in Australia. Her e-mail is support@endometriosis.org. I have also heard that taking estrogen can increase the growth of the endo, and when I took the pill, my pain increased, but I am only one person, and we are all different. BUT, Belle is really knowledgable about endo, and has lot's of resources at her fingertips; Best of luck, I hope you get the info you need. ((((ANGEL HUGS)))) LAUREN
