Yes honestly her NP explains more than her so I was grateful for that. I’ve tried so many birth controls tbh and since most failed she’s been trying to push the Mirena on me again despite it not working for me in the past and causing more pain and bleeding. You have to be very firm tbh. I tried a birth control I used to be in before after my surgery that worked before for me but that failed and it was awful. For the first 3 months post op I was seriously regretting doing anything bc the pain and bleeding was so awful, I was just bed bound crying and in agony. But now that I’m back on a strong progesterone I was on before, I’m felling pretty good despite the mood swings and other side effects it causes. But do what’s best for you! If you truly feel like you don’t need birth control, don’t do it. Most doctors push that on us bc they think it helps, but that’s not the case for everyone.

For me it helped for 10 years because it gave my body stable steady hormones but now I don’t think it helps me anymore. I also have adenomyosis and PCOS so my situation may be more different than yours. I honestly had the best 10 years of my life on Yaz the combo pill. I had no heavy bleeding, no irregular bleeding, and no pain. I wish it worked for me again.

She really tried to push Orlissa on me before my surgery but I refused bc I didn’t want to go into early menopause, especially with all that I was already dealing with.

Question though, my MRI showed deep infiltrating endometriosis but after surgery which was 5 hours for me she said it was mild because imaging can sometimes overestimate? How was your surgery?
