Hi Diane, I would suggest you start her using progesterone cream 2 weeks out of each cycle (starting midcycle when she should be ovulating, as best you can figure that). If she does have endo that will help the endo as her hormones get into balance. It should regulate her periods as well. I would not recommend bc pills as my opinion is that they will only make things worse in the long run and could permanently damage her fertility at this young age. Please check out http://www-natural-progesterone-advisory-network.com for more info for yourself (hysterectomies don't cure endo!) as well as your daughter. I have used progesterone cream for the last 8 years and have kept my endo, etc. totally controlled the entire time. Warning though, your doctor will probably not agree with me at all so you need to do the research and make that decision for yourself. Good luck to you both! BJ
