Re: Questions about taking birth control continuously-and some of my own symptoms!

Hi Kasia! This is part of what makes me so scared to try it. I keep reading experiences from women taking the continuous pills who bleed anyway for long periods of time while taking the pills. And I am wondering why that wouldn't aggrivate endo? Because taking the pills regularly you bleed for approx 5 days, with the pills nonstop I've read of women bleeding lightly up to a month or longer! How can that not make the endo even worse? It also makes me worry about how healthy it is to take continuous pills. It feels scary to me to try to alter my periods, it is very unnatural to me. I just took my last pill before the green pills yesterday and I feel so nervous about starting this continuous pill method today. It has to be hormonaly aggrivated because why have I read that for many women endo symptoms often subside in their 30s and 40s? I guess I will go ahead with it even though I am scared! Yikes, I can't imagine pumping pills until I decide to have kids like my doc suggested! I'm only 21!
