Two General Laparoscopy Surgery Questions/Curiosities
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi! Would appreciate any thoughts or insights anyone has. Thank you!

Is there anything that in hindsight you wish you knew prior to surgery? Whether about the surgery itself, aftercare, questions you wish you would’ve asked the surgeon, etc.

At what point did you feel like the surgical pain was gone/at a manageable level where it wasn’t all you were thinking about?

Hi Eve! I wish I would have known that I would wake up in a LOT of pain. I got through it but I woke up sobbing from the intensity of the pain (maybe I wasn't given enough meds?) However, due to the… read more

Visanne actually works like that. While you are on medication you will get less or no period. Once you are off the medication you will get your period after like 10-15 days so I don't think there is… read more

Spotting While On Visanne
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been taking Visanne for 5 weeks now. My doctor said I would not get periods so I was not worried when my period did not come last month ( I always had regular menstruation).
Today, I had light spotting. I'm worried now. Did you experience this too?

What Have Most You Found To Be The Most Effective Treatment For Endo ?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am currently taking Visanne which has been working pretty well until recently. I am wondering what other treatments have been helpful for others? Does diet actually help with the symptoms and pain?

The only thing helping me really is a hotwater botle.

Doubting On Visanne
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi everyone! I am 25 and have learnt i have endometrioma in my left ovarian (4cm) and high CA125 level, my doctor wants me on Visanne. I have read so many side effects and therefore i couldnt dare taking Visanne.. I am on Yasmin contraceptive pill instead. My mother told me she also had endometriosis when she was few years older than me and even with endometrioma in one ovarian, she could get pregnant and give birth to my sister.. Could you share with me if you have similar experiences… read more

Mirena
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi
I’m really struggling with my treatment options. So far I’ve tried visanne - stopped my period completely but I had horrible headaches and other side effects. Next was alesse which was horrid and I only took for three months - constant bleeding and pain. Then was marvellon which worked well for three months but then stopped. I’ve been bleeding since March and the pain is horrible. The doctor at the endo clinic has suggested Mirena next and also suggested staying on the pill as well… read more

Should I Continue To Take Lupron If I Still Have Constant Pain Everyday?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I continued to have constant pain after having Laproscopy in January. The pain may not be AS bad as before the surgery, but now I have new pain that I didn't have before. My doctor suggested take Lupron Depot since I was still experiencing pain. I took the 3 month dose in August and I'm still having constant pain daily. I'm scheduled to take another 3 month dose in a couple of weeks. Advise, please, ladies; should I take another shot of Lupron even though I'm still in pain??
