i’ve been taking Visanne for like 6-7months already and i told my doctor that i wanted to stop cuz im having vaginal dryness and low libido and its kinda make me depress. I decided to stop after end of this month but like recently i got my libido back. and surprisingly the vaginal dryness isn’t that bad anymore! and i haven’t got my period in like 4 months but now i got a little bit of spotting out of no where. Is it something to worry abt??
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
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?

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??
I had a different experience with pelvic floor PT but I think I just got lucky and got a really good gal who goes very slow. Bc I'm still doing it for the past 6 months and I love it! Helps my pain… read more
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

Does anyone who is on Lupron get serious bone/muscle pain? Not sure if it's just bone pain or muscle pain that accompanies it. I'm in so much pain right now.
Yes same with Orolisa
I am dealing with Muscle pain and bone pain headache and fatigue it’s the worst
how did the lupron work for you?? I have bipolar & anxiety. Worried about how it'll effect those.
If u dont like it, then tell your dr and dont do anymore injections. Since it is a shot, it does stay in your system longer than pills
Hi everyone,
I had 2 surgeries to treat endometriosis which both didn't help with the pain at all. In fact, they gave me more symptoms such as longer heavier period and severe constipation. (As I have stage 4 endo that attached to the bowel and I guess it may affect my nerve to pass the bowel)
After reading stories of other sufferers, I found my case is a little bit different that I do not have everyday pain like others but my pain will be before, during and after having period only but a… read more
