Consider the anastrazole discussed on this site, or Lupron, if you haven't already tried it. Anastrazole blocks production of estrogen and progesterone within the endometriosis cells.

Since that time I have had a full hysterectomy with ovaries removed and two subsequent surgeries to excise the endo A year ago the pain returned , but continues in a cyclical pattern almost mimicking a menstrual cycle , mid month and end of month there is a rise in symptoms. I started natural progesterone and within six weeks my symptoms increased. I was told it should shrink the implants. I have done so much to try to rid myself of the pain, acupuncture physical therapy, yoga, diet and yet this seems to be bigger than I. Can progesterone aggravate endo symptoms? I have recently discontinued and how long will it take for the pain to settle down? Is there anything in your experience that you might suggest as NEXRAD steps? I am beginning to lose hope. Thanking you in advance Sincerely Cathryn I am 52 years old and suffer from residual endometriosis
