Dr. pretty sure I have endo and I'm supposed to start Lo Seasonique

[taylor478]

I've finally found a doctor that takes me seriously and agrees that I have all the classic symptoms of endo. Along with a family history and during the exam she thought she felt the "bands" where it had attached itself. Of course the only way to be sure is surgery but she wants to do the less envasive first......birthcontrol. I really like my new doctor but I can't help but be nervous about the side effects. I've tried them before (not Lo Seasonique) and they made me severly nauseaus to the point that I couldn't move. I tried Nuva Ring and got severe leg cramps in my calves. From what I've been seeing Lo Seasonique is better for women with problems such as endo, but any info would be greatly appreciated. And any suggestions about what time of day to take them, with food or without, that kind of thing. I'm supposed to take my first pill today. Thank you so much =)

I don't know specifically about seasonique, but I know that some bc pills can effect the gall bladder. I would check on it and if you have any pain in your upper right quadrant of your abdomen get it checked out immediately.

I was taking to Loestrin Fe for a while. I took it in the morning with water. I seemed to have a little bit of heartburn, but after I ate something it got better. I also was diagnosed with Endo. I had some problems with spotting for a while with Loestrin Fe so my Dr. switched me to a different pill. It's a generic version with more hormones.
