Just out of curiosity...have they ever checked your hormone levels? The
BC pills just add hormones, if your base levels are off, then you might
still have problems. My medical doctors never offered to check my
hormone levels, but the naturopath I've seen insists that it's a good
idea. Apparently most women with endo have "estrogen dominance". Just
wondering.
Also, lots of supplements that are recommended for endo are
anticoagulants. So you'll want to make sure you are not taking any oils
(Vit. E, Evening Primrose, Fish, Flax seed, etc). Aspirin is also a
strong anti-coagulant. So is fenugreek. So if you are taking
supplements, check and make sure they are not anti-coagulants.
