OK ladies, I need some help. I have endometriosis and I have been on oral contraceptives for almost half my life. I have been period free for that long. I'm coming up on 2 months post-op and I have had 2 periods! I had forgotten just how painful endo is. I saw my gyn and he thinks I could either be malabsorbing or it is the effects from anesthesia and the pill will work again. What has been your experience? Have you had to change from the pill to the nuvaring or the shots?
I am especially concerned because I had a terrible time with depression, I am finally in a good head space and I'm concerned if we play with my hormones, I could get depressed again. I am almost thinking of asking to see a pain management specialist instead of changing the pill. My gyn will only prescribe NSAIDS and that is not cutting it.
Any advice?
