How Long Does It Take For Your Menses To Come Back After Stopping On Visanne?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Singapore

Hello Ladies, I'm new here. I'm 26 and on Visanne for the past 2 years. Never done any op. Cyst is stagnant at 3 cm for almost a year. Felt much better after taking it though but just no menses
Anyways, I need help guys. I am planning to get pregnant.
However I have few questions.

1) How long does it take for your menses to come back after stopping on Visanne (My doc said it takes about 2 to 3 months for the medicine to wear off from the body and then it will be good to try)?

2) Is it easier… read more

Hi. We are also ttc since March this year.

I am 28 and stage 4 endo since I was 19, have had 3 surgeries so far, but no cysts.

I was on Visanne for about 4 years. My period returned immediately once I stopped and it has been regular ever since but I am not ovulating. Dr wanted to give it a few months to see if I would ovulate on my own, however it hasn't happened so going to go back in July to see what to do next.

I am only using Folic acid & B vitamin complex to ease period pain.

The pain has returned as before and is very bad for 2 days of my period. Although visanne had some side effects, it really eased the pain of endo for so long.

Good luck on your journey.

Yes I am using a period tracker and then testing each month with clear blue kit around the predicted time. Going to doctor on 11th July so he will probably run some more tests and then take it from there.
