On Depo-Provera. Had Eggs Retrieved And Stared Spotting 2 Weeks Later Is It Normal?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

Anybody Else Had Surgery And Started Having Pains Again 3 Months After While On Orilissa And Provera ?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with stage 4 pelvic endometriosis

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

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.

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?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

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.

Provera Intake
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. 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

Hi! I Was Prescribed Visanne And A Zoladex Shot For 6 Months. Then We Can Do IVF. Has Anyone Done This Kind Of Treatment And Got Pregnant?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

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 🙁

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

Glad to hear the pain level decreased ❤️ That's what I'm hoping for.

Has Anyone Been On The Depo Provera Long Term And Did It Have Any Negative Effects On Your Body After Coming Off It? I.e Couldnt Get Pregnan
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Provera
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

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!

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

I just started mini pill for same reason, if it doesn't ease my pain Depo Prevera is next. Hang in there.
