I have endometriosis and chronic migraines (not related to the pill). I am taking a preventative migraine medication daily now, so we figured we would try again to help my pain from the edo with the pill. At this point, all of my doctors have suggested taking lupron, which will put me into temporary menopause, instead of the pill. I am just not ready for that option. Because I have tried so many different pills, Femcon FE is one of my last options before taking the lupron. I was concerned after reading many of the posts on this site, but figured I would give it a try and see. I started it on Sunday April 25th and so far this is what I have experienced: Increased onset of migraine pain- (but the pharmacy didn't have my migraine medication and I had to wait two days until they ordered it, so that could be the cause of that) Slight breakout- (but I started a new foundation, so that could be the cause of that) Increased moodiness I have not had any cravings like I did on Seasonale (all I could think about was chocolate) I don't know if I have had any weight gain yet, my scale is out of batteries and I haven't had a chance to replace them! But my cloths do not feel tighter, so that is a good sign!! I will continue to post periodically while taking Femcon FE. Hopefully it works for me and I will have nothing but great things to say! I am going to stay positive and will away the negative side effects!!!

I wish you nothing but the best with your endo, I also have it like you, have endo. I will not take lupron. The side effects may be very long-term, take a look at : endo victims it is a web site has a tun of info on endo. My docter just put me on FEMCON FE today he thinks it will help he.
