It's interesting that you say you can't take ortho-tri-cyclen
continuously
because my ob/gyn had me take it continuously for several months in
order to
get rid of a complex cyst that was not going away when I took the pill
regularly. It did not work, and I ended up having a laparoscopy, which
diagnosed endo. But as far as I know, no pill would've worked, and it
didn't
cause any problems either. I was wondering where you heard that it
can't
be taken continuously? Thanks.
