I have had to change pills about 6 times to find the one that really works with my body, but I have found the right pill and I feel great. I still experience pain but not as frequent or as bad, I also have some of the side efffects of cbc like tender and swollen breats(I use a cream to reduce the tendernous) and I have gained a few extra pounds, but it is all better than full blown endo pain you know. I have had break through bleeding on some of the other pills and at times it was really bad, but that is why I changed pills so many times to find the one that worked with my body. I think that cbc is a great alternative to lupron and other treatments, especially for young people like myself I am only 22. It can be frustrating and challenging to find the right pill for you, but don't give up and work very close to your doctor so you can find that pill for you. If you are finding that your symptoms aren't improving and you are having break through bleeding just go to your doctor and tell him it is not working for you and you want to try a different pill. If you want to email me feel free to!! Good Luck, and hang in there! Caryn
