Has Visanne Stopped Working For Anyone Else After Three Months?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I began on Visanne early this year and for me it has been a miracle! My last period was in February of this year, and then March, April, May I didn’t have one on Visanne. I had three months of bliss being pain free
Suddenly out of the blue though, I started spotting two weeks ago and having mild pain and then yesterday my period started fully, and my endometriosis pain is here FULL ON. Excruciatingly. Has this happened to anyone else? I am so lost at why I suddenly am experiencing my period… read more

This is an easy one. Did you see a Gynecologist or a specialist? If you were prescribed Visanne WITHOUT undergoing a laparoscopy (the golden standard for diagnosis) and excision for treatment... then yes you will still experience the same issues. I was prescribed numerous birth control pills and Visanne in order to "shrink" the tissue - it is utter inexperienced BS. I had surgery in January and I had adhesions sticking organs to my bowel. You cannot see it on a scan, you need to get an expert opinion on this and post surgery a proper treatment plan if pain persists.

I'm on month 4 of Visanne, and all my symptoms slowly started coming back. The endo belly and pain is horrible. I can't eat. I'm in pain. I don't know what to do. I have to get an appointment with my Gynocologist because he wanted to make sure it could get better before doing the surgery. I hope I can get to the bottom of this.

Thank you so much for your answer, and sharing your experience. I saw an Endometriosis Specialist, who prescribed Visanne to see if it improves my situation before considering surgery. Since it hasn’t worked, surgery will probably be the next option.
Anything I can expect or should know about getting a laparoscopy? How was your recovery time too?
I know that every situation is different and people have different degrees of endometriosis ❤️ and I thank you for sharing your story with me x
