I have been dx'd with endometriosis. I am 43 yrs of age. My Dr and I have currently come up with a plan to control my pain. the plan is to take alesse 21 for 9 weeks straight then have a cycle. I have taken one month of alesse and have had a cycle. I then started again and am currently on week 6. for the past seven days I have had some what of a period. bright red spotting enough to wear a pad all day but not a tampon. it does not seem to be decreasing ie: going from red to chocolate brown like a normal period. on day four later in the day I passed a large clot. just when I think it is lightening up I go to the washroom and still bright red. I am a little concerned. any suggestions
