I've been on the Depo shot for almost 2 years now I think. I don't have nose bleeds so I'm not sure if it will help with that. It helps get rid of period blood and cramping after awhile.. I think it took until my third shot (so at least 6 months into taking it) for that to happen. But if I wait too long to get the next shot at the end of the 3 months (since they give like a 2 week window to get the next one), I start really cramping bad and having insane mood swings. That's what I'm dealing with now and I was only maybe 4 days into my 2 week window when I got the shot again. However, even though no periods is nice and I don't have to deal with heavy bleeding and cramping every month, it still doesn't help me with Endo pain.

From what I understand the orcilla is basically the same thing as the depo shot but in a pill form. All the side affects are the same. I've taken depo lupron before and it helped about as much as this orcilla stuff. Which isn't much. I was hoping someone else was having nose bleeds and on the same meds so I'd have a better idea as to why I'm having them. I've never had one before and it was kinda scary.

I am not. I just started the depo shot but I’ve had the nose bleeds for months before the depo. There was a 3 month period I was on nothing (stopped birth control pill) and they got much worse. The depo shot hasn’t helped yet. Only been a month. Hate how I feel on it.

I just had my first nose bleed on Friday. I thought it might me a side affect or the orcilla the doctor but me on for the end. Are you by any chance taking orcilla also?
