Thoughts On Provera As An Alternative To Visanne
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I just moved to NZ and found out that Visanne is not available in NZ. I’ve been recommended Provera as an alternative although I’m bit concerned about its side effects. Anyone been taking Provera?

Lou2 , how many milligrams Provera are you taking per day ?

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.

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi all, I’m interested in side effects of Provera tablets; My fertility specialist suggested as I’m not planning pregnancy any time soon
I was taking visanne for two months and I was bleeding almost 1.5 months. Then my Gyn described Norethisterone for 10 days and I was able to stop bleeding.

Appreciated if someone can share their… read more

Has Anyone Had Any Problems Getting Pregnant After Taken The Lupron Injections For 6 Months? Do You Think That The Lupron Helped?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am starting on the Lupron injections Friday. I will be on it for 6 months my doctor seems to think that it is going to help me with my endo and also thinks that when I come off of it I wont have any problems getting pregnant afterwards. I am just wanting to see what the success rate has been with getting pregnant after the Lupron. TIA

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

Everybody is different and I’m tired of people saying Lupron is so bad based on its bad reviews. Every body is different. I am on Lupron for 5 months now and there’s a reason I’m on it. I can’t have… read more
