Don't give up on all HBC just because of the three you tried. There's DOZENS of options. And the 3 you tried are pretty notorious for side effects, from what I've heard. You could try a lower-dose HBC (Yaz in particular is higher, and prone to side effects). Maybe that new one Lo-Loestrin, the 10mg one?
With endo, things can be tough. Are you following the endometriosis community? We're friendly :) but there are options to help control your cycle and symptoms and not all of them are HBC. Frequent periods, frequent spotting, heavy bleeding, lots of cramping - those are all endo symptoms. Yeah, for you maybe your period did stop when your endo was really severe, but what you're going through sounds a whole lot like mild endo right now anyway... A reproductive endocrinologist that specializes in endo would be the best doc for you to look up right now. Your insurance company or your current OBGYN should be able to help you find one.
