Hi Kristy & Lisa,
The Loestrin/Desogen worked great for me for a long time. I took the
packets consecutively (no green/sugar pills) w/o having a period for 6-8
months at time-I did this for approx 1.5 years and it was great. It
wasn't until I got off of the Loestrin and went through IVF twice, had
another surgery for the endo, then tried to get on the Loestrin again
did I have break through bleeding. My doctor just added the Premarin to
Loestrin and I'm nervous about side affects. Most of the side effects
are targeted towards menopausal women, however, hyperplasia, etc...
really conscern me as is why I understand Mitzi's nervousness. I wonder
if it would be better to try another type of bcp. I have tried Ortho
Novem 777 and that made me very emotional-it was years ago-but, I cannot
forget how I felt. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.
