Hi Micha,

I am sorry for all of the problems you are having. I had a scare when I was first put on OCP's with pain and redness in my calf, but thankfully, it wasn't anything serious.

Have you discussed with your Dr. any other options for treating the PCOS and Pelvic Pain other than the OCP's?? I'm not a Dr., so I wouldn't even venture a guess about what those may be, and you may have already asked him about other options, but thought I would throw the idea out there anyway.

If nothing else, I offer you my support in your search for relief from your problems! I know how difficult treating Endometriosis is, for me, but I can only imagine what you are dealing with!!!

Good luck, and keep me/us posted on how you are doing!
