Ortho Evra and Endometriosis
by PrincessJam, Feb 28, 2009 10:41PM
I have a question for anyone using the Ortho Evra Patch to help control their endometriosis. It says right on the box that you are exposed to 60% more estrogen using the patch then other birth control pills. Since estrogen "feeds" endometriosis, how does this make sense? I have been advised by my doctor after 6 months of Lupron injections, to use the patch consistantly (not having a patch off week and not getting a period) until we are ready to get pregnant. Can anyone help explain this to me? I know it's good not to get a period b/c you don't have the fluxuation of hormones going on, but what about the estrogen?
THANKS!
THANKS!
