Hi, I would not let a doc TELL me what I would try next. Find a new doc
if you can. I am not sure if the planned parenthood would look into
endo. My limited knowledge of them is that they are birth control
centralized. I don't see why the doc won't let you change. He would if
you were having a bad reaction to it.
Although alot of women have not had success with ortho, it may work for
you. If it is that is great. I guess it would be why you use the bc. I
don't use bcp for the endo, it is useless and I am not going to go
months switching back and forth finding one that works. I take Yasmin
for bc and lots of people have not had success with that.
