Has anyone who has used Visanne experienced weight gain? I’m really in a lot of pain and need to make a choice between Visanne and mirena and I can’t. I’m so paranoid I will gain weight if I go on Visanne.

I lost weight while on Visanne. Not because of visanne. I am on a weightloss journey so basically it did not negatively affect my results. Plus I experienced some nausea in my 2nd month of use.

I have been on visanne almost 4 months and the the 20lbs I lost last year is almost back. I am deeply upset as it's hard enough to lose weight and for it to come back and no I haven't changed anything but going on visanne I will be talking to my doctor next month for an alternative.

I had really tender breasts on Visanne but it eventually went away. Visanne is used to shrink cysts and after being on it for almost 2 years now, my body has stopped responding to it. I am moving on to an IUD Mirena in about a few weeks.

Hello. I'm in my first week with Visanne. I had had mirena removed on the last week Wednesday (30/03/22) because it had been causing me pains nonstop since a year ago when it was inserted (23/03/2021). So far, Visanne increased my appetite and causes me cravings 😩😩😩. I had my menses a day after removing mirena, other than my menstruation cramps, those that were caused by mirena had stopped. I can't explain it but I just know the difference. All the best

I've been on visanne for 4 months now and I have gained about 6kg which is ridiculous. I'm thinking of talking to my gynaecologist so I can see what other alternatives will be suitable.
