Hey everyone.
I posted on here last month about endo. Well, I had my lap done two weeks ago and the Dr. did find some "significant" endo. She said she removed it all and the procedure went fine.

I went in for my post surgury appt wed and was just expecting the stitches to come out and was instead met with a pop up diagram. needless to say, i was a little confused. :confused:

She told me I had some choices and that I could either 1) do nothing and be in the same situation in 6 months, 2) have a hystorectomy 3) try lupron and go into menopause or 4) high hormone bc continuously forever. HMM... no periods, sign me up!! :D

I guess my question is what to do? I am only 25! When I asked about getting pregg. she said "you never know, but for me it is not likely with all the problems I have had previously and then with this. She said she doesn't know for sure if I am infertile without testing and stuff, but from the tone, don't hold my breath.... :eek:

Anyways, I was on Seasonale for my periods because they were so bad, but she now wants me to go on ALESSE. Has anyone heard of that one or been on it and know what to expect, especially continuously?

Thanks
Kaesle

It seems like women either love or hate this pill. I had a bad experience with it but that doesn't mean you will. I had terrible bloating and weight gain (which I'm still trying to get rid of). My stomach actually stuck out and it looked like I was pregnant. I also had a total mood swing, I was always snapping out at people, just didn't feel like myself. I had breakthrough bleeding all month long too which was terrible because it was like I had my period constantly. I was only on it for about 4 months (My doc said to give it atleast 3 months so I did).

But, that was just me! Hope you have a better experience.
