thanks so much for the response! I know that I can't predict it but I
guess part of me is trying to analize everything wondering how long
before it comes back for me? so I'm trying to find the best treatment
for me and I can't see myself doing nothing after the lap b/c I'm sure
then it would come back real soon. Now I'm kinda debating on the cbpc
or the natural progersterone cream but would like to hear others
experience just to see what might be better. I did well on bcp before
except for it stalling my weight loss which although extremely vain is
one reason I don't want to look at Lupron. I did have some pain on
Seasonale but it wasn't too bad. I'm just wondering what brand of bcp I
should try? If I have pain with one is that just the endo that wasn't
removed or does that mean I am getting worse? If I don't have pain does
that mean it's not really growing back? I'm going to really annoy myself
with how much I have consumed myself with this, wondering, asking,
analizing, but thats just me unfortunatly. Thanks again, I always
appreciate any response I get-you girls are great! I do hope your side
effects from the lupron go away soon, take care and let us know how your
doing!
