Thank you @A MyEndometriosisTeam Member ! This is exactly the advice I need. With no prior knowledge from myself or my family, it’s hard to know what’s stopping you and scaring you. I don’t want to look down the road in the future and wish I did something else.

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member this was so so helpful because I don’t have symptoms associated with endo, which made me not wanna go on hormonal therapy. All I’m concerned about is stopping the growth and have been doing so much research on how to through food, vitamins/ supplements

Same here! I just got off hormone therapy as it made me feel terrible, but I did one round and it didn't really help much. I cope more by keeping busy, trying to be active, taking pain meds when needed, and generally healthy eating habits.

I have stage 4 endometriosis and it’s rough! I don’t take any hormones. It’s really not good for us. It can cause cancer later.

Hormones make me sick as well. BUT...you have to have them - it's the number one treatment for managing endometriosis. I would talk to your doctor about birth control options - IUD, pill, shot. Hormonal treatment has helped me significantly (even though some of the side effects are crappy), - the pros outweigh the cons by a long shot.
