may need surgery WITHOUT the pill.

I"m taking something almost like this. My doctor has got me on a high dose pill, and I go three months at a time without placebos.

I had horrific endometriosis, and didn't even know it until last year, I had a cyst burst and bleed out. I had to have emergency surgery to remove the ovary and repair the damage. Doc had to put me on the pill to completely shut down the other ovary so I don't have the same problem.

As it is, I still from time to time have crippling abdominal pains from the endo. I'd far rather deal with issues from the hormones than almost die from something else like last year.
