I stuggle with endometriosis. I am almost three months on Depo-Provera. I have never spotted in the 3months that im on Depo-Provera. 2 weeks ago i had some eggs retrieved and had little bleeding for 30 mins after the procedure. But now 2 weeks later i stared spotting heavily. Any reason to why i could be spotting only now. Or can it be that im Ovulating and that the Depo-Provera hasn’t started working yet after the egg retrieval process.
Spotting after egg retrieval is very common, and they say that you have a delayed response to the procedure. I just had my procedure as well and 2 weeks after I had heavy spotting. It went away a… read more
Just started taking provera 3 times a day... so tired. Anyone else experience this & does it get easier?
I’ve been on it for 2 years now and I remember it taking two or three shots before the bleeding slowed. I still spot pretty often but nothing like before
I was diagnosed with stage 4 pelvic endometriosis
YES! I totally had pain and they didn't give me really any options so I just coped, but I would put pressure on then and ask what your options are.
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??
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.
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. So I’m afraid to have the same side effects with Provera. As this time, doctor mentioned that I might get the light spots and I’ve been told the same with Visanne. Appreciated if someone can share their… read more
I had a laparo-hysteroscopy in december, but apparently not all endo was removed. Another doctor wants to go surgical again to tackle the remaining endo. I'm confused as to go surgical again or just medical with Visanne... Help 🙁
Glad to hear the pain level decreased ❤️ That's what I'm hoping for.
I’ve been on the Depo for at least 6 years and have been getting pressured to come off it due to the effects it can have long term like bone density and trouble getting pregnant, however it is the only form of contraception that helps my endo and completely stops all periods and endo side effects.
Hello🦋 yesterday I saw my gynecologist and she decided to switch my pill to Provera because I’ve been experiencing a lot of lower abdominal pain. If you’ve used Provera what was your experience with it?
Thank you!
I just started mini pill for same reason, if it doesn't ease my pain Depo Prevera is next. Hang in there.
