Hi! I am also on Yasmin 28. But I was put on it before I was even
diagnosed with endo. I had the lap done last year, and a year later the
pain is back. My dr. has put me on the yasmin continuously which has
not helped much. I don't have much advice for you, except not to give
up. There is something out there that will help! I am most likely going
to start the Lupron shot this summer, since the cbcp's aren't working
too well.
