Ok so I went to the doctor today. After much debating - seeing as he really hadn't a clue so it took a while - I'm going to start Cilest (ortho-cyclen) tomorrow. Yasmin has been wonderful for PCOS symptoms, but the painful daily cramping etc doesn't seem to be improving so I figured I may as well try something else. GP was pleased to put me on a cheaper pill too.. I'm a bit nervous about starting another one but since Cilest is recommended for endo, I am trying to be positive and hopefully will have good results.
From what I have read, it can be good, but I will need to watch my weight as I have lost a fair amount since last Sept but want this to continue!!
Doctor suggested Tri-Novum, but said he hadn't given any endo patients this pill so didn't really know. I would like to try another monophasic as I feel comfortable with it and then if it doesn't work out, I will look into the tri-phasic pills. He wants me to tri-cycle my Cilest pill which I'm sure will not make me feel so good so I'll try 2 months and then work my way up!
Just wanted to update.. xx |
