I am ...I have what I think is a unique situation... I am 27 years old and was diagnosed four years ago with endometriosis. I had a large cyst on one of my ovaries which was visible on a sonogram. I was switched to seasonale birth control and since then my sonogram was showing no cyst and my ovaries looked healthy. In the last 6 to 8 months, I have experienced vaginal discomfort, itchiness and pain during intercourse. The doctor did a vaginal culture and determined that my estrogen levels were low in that area similar to a menopausal woman. Being that the seasonale is working for the endometriosis (and I want to have children in the next few years so I want my ovaries as healthy as possible), they didn't want to switch my birth control pills. They suggested using a local estrogen. I chose the ring. I think they said it would not affect my endometriosis or cause any other bad effects but any advice is greatly appreciated due to the fact that I am not yet going through menopause.needsadvicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429296404803027364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176359.post-34202461854158174062008-04-15T19:12:00.000-06:002008-04-15T19:12:00.000-06:00This is great news - I'll be sure to ask my doctor...This is great news - I'll be sure to ask my doctor about it!Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.com
