Sorry that my answer was not what you were looking for. This site is here to help people the best they can. I am not a doctor so I can only pretty much relay what is out there when it comes to this disease or my experience. Good luck.
i've been on so many hormones ticked. i've been on the normal bcp, to the depo provera shot, to orthotrycoline, to seasonnque and northinedrone a low dose of it and provera a high dose and nothing has helped. synthetic hormones isn't for me. i guess me telling you that didn't re gesture through. thats ok. it happens.
Some people respond differently to hormones and it might just mean that you need to try another hormone to try to stop the pain.
i came off of my continuous bcp because i was dealing with some serious side effects even though it was helping the pelvic pain. i was having really bad headaches, rashes on my face, and back pain. and i would get really depressed. i was at the time taking norethindrone for 8 months and the side affects kept getting worse. i couldn't function. so i told my obgyn about that and she insisted it wasn't the hormones. so she put me on a higher dose of something else. i had to take 10mg provera tablets. and i didn't have the headaches,back pain or rashes. but two months into taking it. the nausea was intense. so i tried taking it with food. and the nausea was not going away and i couldn't function at school or work. so i stopped taking it completely. i just took three pregnancy tests yesterday. clearblue. and the all three said negative. and im am still not bleeding..
I seemed to do well on the continuous BCP but when I came off it I was so sick, my hormones were all over the place I was depressed and the pain was bad. In 8 yrs I only came off it three times and not off it more than 2.
What made you decide to come off it? What hormone were you on?
