Birth Control before FET

i have a question/concern about the birth control I'm on. my RE wants me on BC for three solid months before we try another FET. The thing is the BC really messes with me. My mood has been awful. It is like clockwork shortly after I start the BC. My husband notices it too. I get moody and angry at a drop of a hat. I get anxiety and really emotional. I also get boughts of depression. This is our last time going through the processe of trying for a baby. The RE wants me to stay on this BC because it works well for me. She also believes I may have endo and the BC helps keep in check. I feel like I need to power through it to gives the best opportunity but it is tough. I have only been on it two weeks and spent most of today crying. I appreciate any insite. Thank you.
Re: Birth Control before FET
3 months seems like a long time. Any possibility of shortening your stint on it?
