I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis. For the past 6 mont...

I feel your pain. I too was diagnosed with Endometriosis and also Ovarian Fibromatosis & Fibroma. My first Laporoscopy was when I was 15 for a very large ruputured Ovarian Cyst, I am now 32. I just had my second Lapo 3 weeks ago. I have been suffering with Painful intercorse, painful periods, painful ovulation, ovarian cysts, Major acne (Cystic & Moderate) all on the lower region of my face, neck, chest, back, hairloss since the birth of my second child 4 years ago, miscarriage, VERY HEAVY periods and of course the cramping that goes along with it, heavy discharge, and on going Candida (Yeast infections/ athtletes foot). Let's see, am I forgettening anything. I have so many problems, I tend to forget some. I am left with one ovary and my uterus and still have all the same symptoms as before the surgury. When I went in for my follow up appointment after my surgery, my GYN and I both agreed that birth control is worth a shot at this point to try and control the Endo and Ovary problems and all the others should benefit too. So I agreed and he recommended Micette (oral Contraceptive). It is a low dose pill and since my Estrogen and Progesterone levels were considered high and also imbalanced, he figured this would be a good choice. Well, guess what, of course I am in Hormone Hell!!! Every problem I have ever had has just been magnafied with this Pill. I am even more depressed then before, I just can't believe it. I have been bleeding since the surgury 3 weeks ago. Oh yeah, and I am Anemic to top it off from all the heavy periods and hemmoraging with my second childbirth. So, this bleeding with the Birth Control Pill is really BAD for me!! It doesn't matter what I do, everything I try fails. I begged the GYN to take out my uterus before the surgury but he said for insurance purposes, he couldn't at the time unless I had Cancer. At this point, I know this sounds bad but I almost wish I did because then atleast I know all of this would be over. I am scared to death of Cancer but I feel if I keep going through all of this, I might just end up with it anyway. I am going to call him tomorrow after being on this BC Pill for only one week and grill him for answers. This life I live is hell. My poor family just suffers because I am always so tired, sad, impatient, just plain old miserable. I stay in the house for weeks because I am so embarrassed of my skin. Sometime I really look like I am deformed because of the cysts. So, please know that you are not alone. My next step is to just try to get a hysterectomy. There is nothing else I can do at this point. I think of it as a positive because I hope to get on Bio-Identical Hormones. I am extremly healthy otherwise with my diet, weight, foods I eat. But, the hormones in my body RULE everything else. I wish you the best of luck and hope things get better for you. God Bless, Jennifer
