One question: It seems silly to me to try to prevent pregnancy with BCP for one month. Doesn't it normally take a couple of months for it to be fully effective?
I'm glad to see so many of us! |
I sure hope it doesn't hurt that I started them already. I know that with my last cycle I was on them for quite a few months before because of my endometriosis. They say bcp can help to keep it from growing back. I guess I was just a little nervous about it. I have a friend who also has endo and after her miscarriage hers grew back really quick and it also came back alot worse.
I don't really know about the bcp. It was my understanding that it wasn't just to prevent pregnancy but something about the hormones as well. I think they may have wanted to give extra female hormornes and suppress male hormones that we naturally make. I am not for sure on that but I think that is what I remember them saying.
