I just looked up Brevinor and it contains Ethinyloestradiol and Norethisterone. Neither of these is a natural hormone. Ethinyloestradiol is a synthetic estrogen and Norethiserone is a synthetic progestin. Progestins are the worst thing for endo because they block your body's use of natural progesterone which helps control endo. No bc pill is good for endo in the long run. The estrogens feed the endo.
