Letrozole & Norethindrone
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have had two pregnancy loses and pelvic/ back pain that has increased significantly in the past year. Last week I saw a fertility specialist who did an ultrasound and found a cyst on my right ovary, with endometriosis. My doctor put me on 10mg of letrozole and 5mg of Norethindrone daily, for 3 months. He is suggesting this instead of a laproscopy because I am hoping to try and get pregnant after these 3 months are over. I finally got my insurance to approve it and will be starting it today… read more

Has Anyone Heard Of Nexplanon Causing Endo Or Endo-like Symptoms??
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with endo TODAY... I've had the Nexplanon implant since I was 16 (I'm now 21) - I've had it replaced twice. And with my first one, I thought I loved it because I had no periods. But what I've noticed since I've had the implant, was that I had consistent pain with sex (which I did not have before), and terrible cramping. Last year, I started having periods again - bad enough that I bled through 3 pairs of pants in one day (with pantiliners and a tampon). My doctor finally, after… read more

Why Do I Have So Much Pain On Visanne?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

The doctors prescribed me visanne, before then i was on a normal birth control, but had irregular periods. Im currently only 3 weeks on visanne but since then im in more pain then i was before. It’s constantly this sharp shocking pain and feels like everything inside of me is hanging by a string. I thought visanne is suppose to help with the pain, so just wanted to know if it is normal to experience this much pain or should I follow up with my gynie.

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

I’ve been on visanne for many yrs I never had any pain when I went on it.

Can Anyone Tell Me Their Experience On Norethindrone Acetate?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I started this medication almost a month ago. I’ve been having some problems at work and it’s causing me to get upset. When I used to get upset I just had to let myself calm down. But I got so angry the other day I threw my phone at the wall. I have taken orlissa before and it made my emotions BAD, and I’m wondering if this medication is doing the same. So any experience with it I’d love to hear it.

Decapeptyl And Hormonal Crap (what Is Thiiiiis :'()?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

So I have suspected endometriosis, gynae is pretty convinced although I need a laproscopy to validate this. I was put on Decapeptyl for this and PMDD but it was like hell on earth. I wasn't informed that chemical menopause and HRT isn't great if you have a predisposition to Osteopenia/Osteoarthritis etc which I do. So I took the decision not to take a second Decapeptyl 3mg and to raw dog it with supplements and exercise. Problem is it's now been 2 weeks, I have the worst hot flashes I've ever… read more

I haven't been on Lupron/Decaphetyl personally, but I did a ton of research on it cause docs kept pushing for me to do it. It was originally created as a last stage treatment for men with prostate… read more

Yes but I already had stomach problems before taking that medication and it made my stomach problems worse. It didn't help with endometriosis or help stop me from bleeding so the next step for me was… read more
