So I had a lap surgery due to a hemorrhaged ovarian cyst about 2 years ago, they found stage 1 endometriosis as well. I keep scaring myself out of birth control because of the fear of the side effects being worse than my pain. I start getting cramps (1-4/10 pain level) exactly 10 days before my period, then my first day of my period is extremely heavy bleeding paired with a couple hours of horrible cramps 5-6/10 pain. Advil and Tylenol helps, but I still get bad PMS, acne, and bloating before my period. PLUS the looming fear of having another cyst rupture which was 10/10 pain for sure. I’m finally seriously researching and considering birth control. I know that for endo the pill needs to have progestin. I’m worried about taking one with estrogen because I fear I already have high estrogen with all of my symptoms? Anyways I thought I’d get another opinion on which birth control might be best based on all my specific symptoms. Thanks so much!
When should endometriosis be re-evaluated?
I’m 33years old. I was diagnosed with stage 1 endometriosis via laparoscopy in 2021 when doing fertility treatments. My symptoms were/are infertility, pain with sex,
