God- is this familiar. Why cant they do anything for us?

I have been on bc for a few weeks now, Nuvaring, and i feel worse than ever. I have stomach pains, cramping, crankiness, fatigue. I feel like i do during pms, and i am mid-month! I am going to make it through the month, to see if my period is better, but i am not expecting that it will be. I also have broken out all over my face. I didnt have pimples during my teenage years- and now i am 31 and a complete pizza face.

Oh- i am aggravated. And cranky.

My doctor said there is no reason to do a lap- that she bets there is endo there and that just to treat it with bc. She also said that since i have depression problems that anything with high levels of progestrone will send me through the roof- she said that lupron is not a good choice for me and that she would not put me on it.

Any advice anyone?

Maggie- i am sorry about your appointment. dont worry about hurting the doctors feelings- they will be relieved that you are going to try another physician- if they dont feel like they can do anymore. you must put you first!

hope you feel better!
