Birth Control Options To Stop Your Period Entirely? 💕

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Vancouver, BC

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 with… read more

I used depo provera for about three months in college. At that time my endo was undiagnosed, but I definitely had it then. I bled non-stop for an entire month, and my periods weren't any lighter at… read more

Orilissa: Yay? Or Nay?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Strathmore, CA

I've been diagnosed with Endometriosis and PCOS for several year now. I had two surgeries. I've tried every home remedy in the book at home, birth control, and tried Orilissa. Let me tell you this Endometriosis and PCOS is no joke. When I was taking Orilissa I noticed something, something wrong. I noticed that anxiety, depression, frustration/anger, fearfulness, paranoia, and other sides affects (mental, emotional, Endo, and PCOS) began to rise. All areas in my life started to shift when I… read more

I had to stop taking it due to the mental and emotional effects. Things like depression, anxiety, etc was intensifying the more I take it. They say it's highly similar to Lupron Depot. I've been off… read more

To Remove Or Not To Remove?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Durban, ZA

I had the mirena inserted due to continuos bleeding over a four month period and I haven't experienced pain like this before. My only symptom was the bleeding. I've had the Mirena for a month now and have been prescribed birth control for the progesterone. My parents don't want me taking any painkillers due to the opioid crisis. Yes, I know that's in America, but they watch a lot of TV. They didn't even want to pay to have it removed, so I emailed my gynae and she offered to do it pro bono. What… read more

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.

Anyone Try Depo Lurpron

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Azle, TX

I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis 2 weeks ago after years of symptoms I figured were normal. The doctor removed what she could. I've had no pain for 2 weeks until this morning. At my post op appointment today my doctor said she wants to do the depo lupron shots to try to stop the endometriosis from cominh back. I'm seriously skeptical about this course of treatment. Has anyone gone this route and had success?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

I did it for like a year and loved how I wasn't in pain. However, I wasn't prepared for the hot flashes and hormones that came crashing through my body. But overall, it did very well with me compared… read more

Depo Provera

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Eugene, OR

I just finished a year round of Lupron and my doctor has brought up the idea of Depo Provera but myconcern is that it's a three month injection so if it doesn't work I'm stuck on it for three months. Can anyone who has tried Depot Provera share their experience so I can get a better idea of what it's like?
Thank you

Gloria, I'm so glad to read that. Welcome.

On Depo-Provera. Had Eggs Retrieved And Stared Spotting 2 Weeks Later Is It Normal?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cape Town, ZA

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.

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

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

Depo Shot And Endometriosis

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Telford, PA

I've been on the depo provera shot for a year and a half. The first year I had no issues and now I'm in so much pain in my pelvis and hips, and have severe low back pain. Dr said I had a UTI but took antibiotics and I still have cloudy urine, pain going up my back and in my lower abdomen. Never had pain peeing or burning. Has anyone experienced any of this?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

It's been seven years and I'm still not back down to my size I was before depo.

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 💭
Beirut, Lebanon

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.
