Hi, Amy. I'm pretty new to the forum as well. These ladies have been great in providing info...probably more than you'll find on the net.

Did your doctor diagnose you from doing a laparoscopy? I had a lap two years ago, and was on Yasmin at that time, and continued it for about 10 months. I had pain with the Yasmin, primarily surrounding my period at first, then it came more and more often. I stayed on Yasmin for a total of about a year before switching to something else. It just wasn't helping my pain anymore. But, during the time that i was on it, I didn't have any problems. Since then, I've been on practically every pill they make it seems.

I have not done Lupron myself...I know it helps some people, but I've just heard a lot of stuff about it that I don't want to have to go through. That one is a decision that you'll have to make. Even just reading through past forums on here has helped educate me on lupron.

I hope that you will find some help out of this, if nothing else, you'll find a lot of ladies that understand what you are going through.

Good luck! Beth
