Thanks so much for your reply!

I would agree, I notice endo symptoms far more than PCOS. My PCOS is minimal now in fact. So, Cilest in UK is Ortho-cyclen in US. There aren't many tri-phasic pills here, plus they use levenorgestrel which hasn't been good for me in the past..

Would you say a low oestrogen pill is better than a 30/35mg oestrogen pill?

In UK Cilest is actually promoted for endo more than pcos according to netdoctor.co.uk and NHS sites. I am seriously not feeling good at all. I think I am more sensitive to progestogen than oestrogen, but obviously oestrogen isn't good for endo. Not sure what to ask for, but I can't go through this anymore.

I was thinking of trying Mercilon (similar to mircette but different cycle, mercilon is 21 pills 20mg/150mg, with no iron pills for the break). But Mercilon doesn't seem to have much written about it for endo. Marvelon/Desogen has some more info, however, it is more often used for PCOS it seems (also in the past for me).

I am in so much pain like full on period but no bleeding. This can't be right.
