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?
Mine was 3 month then I had to stop it
Has anyone delevoped endo/symptoms after a c-section? I never had health issues or endo symptoms until I had my son via c-section in 2016. Took over a year to finally be diagnosed with stage one endo. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
Ugh hate that for you. Is there anything you do to alleviate symptoms during your cycles?
Haven’t used it im on Norethindrone
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?
Hello, I am going to see an ob/gyn that specializes in abdominal pain and endometriosis. This is the first time I go to a consultation like this one and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice that could help me get the help. I've suffered extremely painful periods for about 10 years and about 1 full year of lower left abdominal pain that feels like ovulation but happens at all times of my cycle now. Thanks for the help everyone!
My symptoms were much better on norethindrone, but I have been trying to get pregnant and had large endometriomas on ultrasound so when I saw the endo specialist, surgery was recommended which I had… read more
I haven’t had a period for several years
I’ve been on the pill since my last laparoscopy (which I had not long after my youngest daughter was born) and I’m very fortunate that it seems to have done the trick up until recently.
The last 6 months or more, I have been getting pain in the same regions that I experience endo pain.
I’ve been thinking the pain is gastro related as I don’t have any periods, but my GP thinks it’s endo and has done a gyny referral.
So does anyone else experience… read more
Endo tissues migrate from just outside the uterus. Whenever the tissue flares it also inflames whichever organ it’s migrated to. They have found endometriosis all the way up in my liver. This is… read more
Thank you x
I tried 3 IUDs and my body rejected all 3; then tried Norethrindrone and I hated it . My weight changed for the worse and it effected my mood. So I stopped . My doc told me about a newer pill called Slynd . Wondering if anyone else has had experience with this ?
You're most welcome. Incidentally, I'm not sure where you are in your endo journey. Birth control can help, but really they just mask symptoms. It's important that your doctor tell you that it doesn't… read more

Yes I was talking a low estrogen pill orally, it made everything so much worse than it would have been if I was just using my progesterone implant. The implant wasn’t controlling my bleeding so we… read more
