Tamara, you only recently started taking the pill continuously. It took my body between 6 months to a year to adjust to the constant hormones, and it may take you a while also. In the meantime, make sure you are getting a lot of iron in your diet, and take a multivitamin daily. When are you due to stop the pills for a period? Unfortunately, you will keep bleeding through that time too. If it's not long from now, like a couple weeks, keep up with your pills. If it's a couple months away yet, you may need a pill with just a little bit more estrogen. I know estrogen is bad for endo, but if the estrogen is too low, you will have breakthrough bleeding. Don't let your doc just take you off of the pill...it's not the solution, and he/she should know better. Every case of endo is different, and so is every woman. Finding the right hormone combination is tricky and could take a LOT of trial and error.
