Hi Trezzy! I have been on several kinds of birth control too. I have
been on lo-ovral for the past 7 years or so, taking it continuously for
about the last three. I seem to do well with it-my pain and endo has
been much better since I started taking it continuously. Just my two
cents-might think about trying lo-ovral if you haven't already. Hope
you find relief soon.
Hugs!
