Hi I was recently prescribed Visanne by my Dr. The pain almost immediately disappeared, but I started my period a month into taking it and now it's been 10 days straight on my period which is showing no signs of stopping. Any ideas on how to make it stop as it's creating havoc in my day to day life

I was taking naproxen 500mg for severe period pain but over time it stopped working so well. I went back to the doctor and he prescribed mefenamic acid and said it’s used to treat endometriosis and should help my pain. After getting home I looked it up and it was saying it was less effective than naproxen but when I got my period again I tried it anyway. It barely did anything and today I went back to the naproxen.

I can't exactly get a… read more

Weight gain or bloat

I have only used Naproxen for years for the pain but I have been beyond "managing" for a long time now, especially with the flow and I have also learned/realized that this treatment plan does not actually "treat" endo which… read more

Hey everyone
I’m wondering if anyone else has been told they have a “tilted uterus” and if so, how has it affected you?
I’ve been having bad abdominal pain and cramping for six months, so I’ll be having another lap on the 16th.
I have Crohns and it’s been such a headache with the GI doctors assuming my pain, bloating etc is from Endo. I deep down feel that I have adhesions behind the uterus and possibly on the bowel.

Also, does anyone else get crazy water retention?
