A member asked:
Am taking birth control for endo. how do you know if it is working well? feel side effects never get better. 7th pkg now. should i try to change?

If you feel: no better, then it is not working. Talk with your doctor about no improvement; there are other treatments for endometriosis. If your doctor cannot or will not offer an alternate solution, you could consider a second opinion. Best of luck.
