To Remove Or Not To Remove?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had the mirena inserted due to continuos bleeding over a four month period and I haven't experienced pain like this before. My only symptom was the bleeding. I've had the Mirena for a month now and have been prescribed birth control for the progesterone. My parents don't want me taking any painkillers due to the opioid crisis. Yes, I know that's in America, but they watch a lot of TV. They didn't even want to pay to have it removed, so I emailed my gynae and she offered to do it pro bono. What… read more

I asked for lupron depot injection

Anyone Try Depo Lurpron
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis 2 weeks ago after years of symptoms I figured were normal. The doctor removed what she could. I've had no pain for 2 weeks until this morning. At my post op appointment today my doctor said she wants to do the depo lupron shots to try to stop the endometriosis from cominh back. I'm seriously skeptical about this course of treatment. Has anyone gone this route and had success?

I’ve been on it for 2 years now and I remember it taking two or three shots before the bleeding slowed. I still spot pretty often but nothing like before

Depo-Provera Or Visanne??
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm supposed to start medical treatment on the first day of my next cycle (11 days from now). Initially I thought of starting with Visanne but not sure anymore cos of the cost and the need to use it same time daily as opposed to Depo-Provera which stays for 3months (but thinking of getting it for 1 month to see if there are adverse effects or not).

Any suggestions ladies??

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

I think it is a personal option. I chose Visanne as I was not comfortable with the idea of the shot, but again that is personal.

If Depo is used for treatment of endo, is it possible for someone to have it and it not be noticeable even when a doctor is removing an ovary and fallopian tube, even when a biopsy is done?
