Kristy,
Isnt heavy bleeding a common symptom of Endo? I don't have that. Am on
BCP, Alesse 28. Bled for 17 days straight, then a little over a week
later, got my regular withdrawal bleeding that only lasted 5 days. My
normal is the full 7.. always has been.. pill or no pill since I
started my cycles at the age of 12. I am going to give her the weekend
to call me, then I am calling her back on Monday. This is just too
strange. I want this all to end. Thanks for trying to help me on this!
:)
