Does this mean that the other options will increase the pain? Will non-hormonal means cause an recurrence of my pain if endometriosis is the cause? Is this my only choice? Could Ortho Novum 777 for 4 years have been the cause of the endometriosis like symptoms? Is there a oral birth control pill that will still reduce these symptoms and not cause the weight gain, water retention, and acne? I have also experienced recurrent yeast infection like symptoms.

I would appreciate input on my situation from anyone. Anissa
