I am on my seconded pack (month 4) I have endo and thought it would be awesome to only have my period 4 times a year. To my dismay, I've been spotting for the past 2 months and counting. I had a full period about 3 weeks ago and had hoped it was ending and the spotting has continued! I don't want to give up this far. I am SO hopeful that it will stop, but I am really losing that hope. Also, I have cramping still (maybe from the endo) and feel like an emotional wreck!!! I do NOT want to go back to having my regular periods... they were really heavy and severely painful, but this is really getting old fast too! I am 34 and am thinking that maybe I should just go talk to the Dr. about having a hysterectomy. I don't have children and don't think I'll ever have any anyways. Im older and am not in a relationship, so maybe I should just take the plunge?! Help!

There are plenty of other birth controls that you can take continuously. I have endometriosis too. I took Yaz for a couple years and was pretty happy with that. I would take it for 3 to 4 months "straight" (without taking the inactive pills), then have a period (so I only had 3 or 4 a year). The only reason I tried something else was because I was having some decreased sexual interest. It managed all my symptoms really well, and didn't make me gain weight or have other negative side effects. I'll go back on Yaz as soon as I can if Jolessa is representative of these other types of birth control!
