Endometriosis
"I&#039;ve been on Nortrel 7/7/7 for about 6 months.  I went on it to help with my endometriosis.  The first couple months, the pain was actually much worse.  Though that settled and is somewhat better now.  Not totally gone though.  I&#039;ve gained about 10 pounds in those 6 months.  I retain a lot of fluid while taking the active pills, and my breasts are continuously sore and heavy.  I&#039;m going to try something else with a lower estrogen level to try and get rid of this water weight."
