Soooo, my excision specialist appointment is on Sept 22nd and her advice post surgery was to stay on my low hormone birth control each day to avoid getting a period. Well, I have taken it.. and it's been 6 weeks post surgery and I've gotten my period twice despite this.

Birth control pills that have more hormones (I'm on tricyclin low) are havoc on my mood and body. I get bad mood swings, headaches, nausea and vertigo.. So, my question is: Has anyone has successfully stopped there period withโ€ฆ read more

Hi. I have tried Low Lester and when that did not work, I did Depo Luprion. If I remember correctly, I think my IVF doctor preferred me being on Lo Lestrin vs Depo a Luprion closer to starting the IVF cycle. Please free to ask me whatever questions you may have , but I hope you wonโ€™t need IVF.

Iโ€™m on depo provera 10 week cycle, which is a method of bc. Itโ€™s all progestin and no estrogen. Iโ€™ve been doing really well on it for the most part. I do bleed between weeks 8-10 & 1 and have had instances of spotting. Last cycle I was in a lot of pain and bled for a month. In a few weeks Iโ€™m also going on mirena, which is an IUD.

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member Thank you for explaining monophasic pills to me. That is very helpful. I definitely notice on my current pill that I get my period at a specific time each packet of pills (I am guessing those are lower hormone pill-times). I am hesitant the more I read about IUD's, so may just ask to be switched to a different birth control pill to start.

I'm in British Columbia. Pacific coast xoxo
