Okay searching for the best birth control that helps and is most effective. My past I had tried lurpron and just the pill, trying to find one that's effective and works fast. Any recommendations would be awesome I see my new obgyn Thursday

I've been on Nuvaring continuously for two years with a break in the middle for surgery and Lupron. I still have trouble with pain, but not having periods has been a blessing. Recently I've started to have breakthrough bleeding and more pain, but this is the only birth control I have tried that hasn't made my mental health unmanageable. The pills made me crazy! I can't take them. I wish you the best of luck finding a solution that works with your body. It took me several years, so be prepared to have some patience.

Yeah it's a hit and miss with people. Birth control in general doesn't do good with me. I'm just on it till I can get a hysterectomy done. Just had a baby 11 weeks ago and even tho had problems can't do it again.. I hope you find something that works for you

When I was 16 years old and was diagnosed with endo they put me on depo-provera. Its a shot that you get in the hip every 3 months. Its the Depo-Provera is also used to reduce pain cause by endometriosis.
