I had a lap back in october 2025 and she removed lesions around my colon, somewhere else, and noticed lesions on my bladder that obviously couldnt be removed.
Now I didnt have too many symptoms besides painful sex, pain, random spotting, and painful bathroom trips, maybe some other things I just cant remember right now. My doctor put me on loestrin. I was upset because I purposely got off the pill 2 years prior to switch to non hormonal bc. I started the pack and eventually I was cramping horrendously every day. Gripping my chair at work, grunting and whimpering in pain. I have NEVER had cramps like these with the duration off my period. I also was bleeding nearly every week. I figured I needed to adjust to the pill.
Its been 6 months and the cramps (not on my cycle) are hell. I broke down crying because I cannot keep doing this. Im in way more pain. My hormones are everywhere (and for someone with mental health issues I do not like it), im angry always, probably because im in hell. I cant handle this. I want to get off the birth control but to do what? Try another ? (My doctor mentioned sprintec, any comments about it would be helpful) I refuse to try the meds that put you in temporary menopause (im 24). I genuinely have no idea what to do but I want off the pill, not to mention its a known carcinogen. But I dont want the risk of lesions growing rapidly or my chances if eventually having a child are slim. But i hate birth control.
I am at a loss. I want to try not taking anything for a few months to see if I feel better. But if I do? Ill never want to get back on the pill again.
I hate this. I hate endometriosis. I hate the lack of research. I read NAC can help but god they taste and smell so bad because they have sulfur in them.
Im at a lost. I genuinely cant live life like this for potentially 35 more years. I feel so hopeless.
