I would not recommend the bc pills at all and i don't usnderstand the doc's comment about estrogen. There is estrogen in most bc pills as well. The synthetic progestins in bc pills will not work as well as the real progesterone and may in fact cause the endo to worsen. You can continue the estrogen as long as you also do the progesterone to balance it out. I assume you are cycling the hormones through the month and taking at least 3 days off the progesterone? Trust your instincts on this and also, I would bet money the pharmacist knows more than the doc about these hormones! Take care.
