Hi all, I'm having the exact same problem that Erica has..its very intense all over pain, cramping, bloating, headaches, aching, ect. I usually can't work in this state when I have to take a break from the b/c pills. Again according to my doctor, this is normal in women with endo to have constant pms side effects, nausea, bowel related problems, cramping, and break through bleeding while on the pills. My doctor suggested going on a higher dosage of the b/c pills to solve the problem, so next month I am going to try that. Does anyone take pain medications to help with the pain? I also have severe migraines throughout the month, and its intensified when I have to take a break every 2-3 months and have my period. Curious if anyone else has that same problem. I've been on b/c pills for 6 1/2 years now. I was also just curious if anyone else has tried the higher dosage of b/c pills and if it helped. My doctor also put me on estrogen for a week to try to help with the severity of the side effects. Has anyone else done that? I'm not sure if it worked yet, because I was only on it for a week, and the break through bleeding didn't stop, so I'm on a "break" from all hormone pills right now--and paying the price!

Thanks, Tara
