Anyone Taking Visanne Have Prolonged Periods?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

I started taking visanne 7-8 weeks ago and had a noticeable reduction in pain however my first cycle while on the medication hasnt stopped and I'm going on 4 weeks. My gyno is suggesting I tough it out since it's working to reduce pain but I'm inclined to stop if the bleeding continues. Everything I've read so far about visanne indicates your period should become lighter and maybe even disappear so I'm wondering if anyone else had this side effect and was there a way to stop the bleeding?

Got First Period After Endometriosis Later Stopped

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

On Aug 1st I had endometriosis laparoscopic surgery. I got first period on aug 14th and after that I didn't get my periods. For this surgery doctor suggested 3 injections for every month. I took that on aug1st, sep 1st, oct 1st. When I called and asked doctor about my periods they said until your injection power goes down then you get periods.
But I didn't get periods and am gaining weight.

Visanne - Symptoms After Stopping Visanne?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Hi all,

I've been taking Visanne for a year now and doctor has said I can stop it. How long did it take for your period to return after stopping it? And have you experienced any other symptoms? I've been off it for 2 weeks now. No period yet, but I've had breast sensitivity, increased appetite and increased libido. I would love to hear your experiences!
