Letrozole

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Laguna Hills, CA

My doc prescribed Letrozole for estrogen supression. I have been on it 9 days and have been experiencing fullness in my ovaries and uterus. They are very swollen and tender, they fell like they are going to pop. I couldn't sleep due to the pain and barely made it through my work day. My mood has also been effected and I have been more depressed. I called my doctor and they offered to switch to Ayegestin, but its up to me. Has anyone experienced a decrease in side effects with Letrozole? I don't… read more

Visanne Vs Aygestin

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Richmond, VA

Anyone tried both Visanne (Dienogest) and Aygestin (Norethindrone)? If so, please share your experience regarding effectiveness for endometriosis. Did one medication have more side effects (breakthrough bleeding, weight gain, bloating, and fluid retention, etc) than the other?

Vissane worked for me, no weight gain, no acne. Effects were mood swings, low libido at times, nauseous feeling.

Treatment Suggestions

Hello everyone,

I just had laparoscopic surgery 2/22 and my gynecologist has found adhesion/ endo in my uterus. Some were able to be removed however there are still smaller ones still there. The gynecologist told my parents I would need the shot I’m guessing (lupron) which will put me in a menopause state. My question is what treatments have you sought out? Is the shot worth it or should I look into alternatives I’m already on birth control and have been for years.

How Do You Know When It's Time For Surgery?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sebastian, FL

I had a laporscopy about 4 years ago and I felt better for about a year before things got really bad again I was on a waiting list for surgery last year until we found out I was pregnant with my baby girl. After having her I felt great for a few months and now the pain is coming back I'm noticing it more and more. It's not constant like it used to be so I'm wondering if it's worth looking into surgery now or if I should wait till it gets worse and do it then

Norethindrone (mini Pill Vs. Higher Dose Aygestin)

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Loveland, CO

After having my lap, my OB put me on the mini-pill. I have been on it for two years and had breakthrough bleeding a lot. I have a history of low iron/anemia as well, from my Endo and heavy periods. My new OB wants me to take a higher dose, 5 mg, of Aygestin to stop my bleeding/periods, and better manage my endo
I am nervous about increasing the dosage and possible side effects. Has anyone been on Aygestin and had good luck? It feels like there are limited options for us Endo ladies, and I am… read more
