At this rate, you'll never get your vaccine. It may be better to talk it through with your doctor and see if s/he feels like the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks in your case.

@HootyTheNightOwl I know they push it, and want you to get it. There really is no risk while on BC, but I still overthink it because Im on two. I think Ill email them again to see if other women on two have had no issue..thank you.

@Coralmist I'd have thought that other women with Endo would have been vaccinated by now - so, if there was a major issue... it would have made the media already.

I was okay with the first dose, though, after the second and third, I did suffer from a few extra painful periods... which is worth keeping in mind since your periods are already more painful as it is.

I also refuse long term birth control because they tend to leave me doubled up on the floor, so I can't answer any questions regarding BC and the vaccine.

@HootyTheNightOwl oh yes, no its not a concern having endo for the vaccine, my worry was clots because Im on two BC FOR the endo. And if the vaccine would cause any clotting in conjunction with the pills. But Im pretty sure it doesnt. Ill still email tomorrow. Im sorry of your pain, oh its the worst.

@Coralmist Lol, you didn't quite get my point when I mentioned the endo and the vaccine - I was thinking more that you can't be the only one who is taking more than one form of BC to manage their symptoms... which is why I might have expected to have heard something about complications relating to this by now if it were an issue.

Seems logical to think that they would know to put you on blood thinners if there's a risk of clots because of heart attacks and strokes from clots getting into the wrong places.
