BCPs - how long?

Back this past May, a doctor put me on Tri-Cyclen for endo symptoms, which seemed to just make everything worse. I took them continuously for 5 months, then I got the NP at my doctor's office to switch me to continuous Nordette on advice I received from yet another NP. Then I went to a new doctor, but they seem really frustrated, and don't want to wait to see if the Nordette works, nor do they want to deal with giving me pain meds. They are pushing a laparoscopy followed by lupron followed by god-knows-what, more of the same I imagine.

I've only been on the Nordette for 4 1/2 weeks, and I have seen some improvement - now the pain killers actually kill the pain! And I'm taking fewer of them

I'm wondering of the people who tried BCPs for their endo, how long did you give the treatment before you got results, or gave up?

Thank you!
