What Pill to go on

Hello all... i am new to this forum, but I was so happy to see it.  I spent alot of time on the fertility forum and then on the pregnancy forum and then on the parenting...

I just want your opinions on what pill is the best to help manage endo and give me the option to have another baby next year.  It took us 3 years to conceive (thanks to the endo and the Dr. NOT listening to me when I told them I was suffering with endo... whatever).   So we will probably be looking to have another baby next year, but I have my post pregnancy follow up with Dr. in a couple weeks and I need to address birth control with him...

ANY SUGGESTIONS?   What works best to manage the pain endo brings?   I have had 2 surgeries to remove the garbage it brings.

It makes sense to go with a low estrogen dose since you want to supress the estrogen levels in your body to control the growth of the endo.  It's been so long since I was on bc pills I can't even remember what I took, but I do remember that it helped my pain.  One thing to consider is that if you think you may want to TTC in a year you may be best served not even starting the pills since it's recommended that you are off of them for about 6 months before trying.  Ask your doctor to be sure but that's what mine told me.

They say that the best ones are the ones with low estrogen in them, but i have been told that they cause endo as well, so i am not sure.,  I am on marvelon21 and its seems to help in some way but i also havent tried to have a baby in the last 5 yrs so i dont know.
