Period Stopped And Vaginal Dryness Was Extreme While On Visanne. Anyone Had The Same Problem?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

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?

How Long Until I Will Be Able To Move Around For A Whole Day After My Hysterectomy? How Bad Is The Pain? What Was Hormone Replacement Like?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

New here but sadly not to endometriosis. Obviously I live with the burden of this disease running my life and marriage so after a year of being told I need a hysterectomy I have scheduled it. The Dr is saying 6 weeks for healing. We are doing laparoscopic with the possibility of abdominal removal as I have Stage 4 and it is covering my bowels and possibly reached my bladder. Any of you who have had a hysterectomy please tell me how long did it take until you could move around at least for an… 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??

Sex Life And Physical Relationship
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I can count on one hand the times that me and my boyfriend have had sex in the last year- sad I know
I just had excision surgery back in May and of course I'm terrified of getting back on the horse... seemed like an appropriate analogy. We have tried once since my surgery after waiting long enough and it still hurt but at the time I wasn't on any type of birth control so we had to use a condom and my fun parts have never agreed with most types. I'm thinking that was the main problem (more like… read more

Lupron Injections
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

I'm About To Start Lupron
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

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
