Re: Endo INSIDE the uterus

Endo can still grow when you are on the pill, even continuously. I'm
also on continuous BCPs and I actually had a doctor try to tell me my
pain couldn't be "hormonal" because I'm not having periods! "We stopped
your cycle." ?? My pain and symptoms follow a very distinct monthly
cycle - I asked her what else could cause a monthly pain cycle, but she
didn't have an answer. I wonder if I'll ever stop being amazed at the
stuff some doctors will try to feed you?
Good luck!
