What Is Your Opinion On Norethindrone? And Do You Have Any Reccomdations For New Treatments?
I was on orilissa which worked great for me but my doctor made me stop taking after 2 years due to long term health concern and side effects seen in the drug trials.

Letrozole & Norethindrone
I have had two pregnancy loses and pelvic/ back pain that has increased significantly in the past year. Last week I saw a fertility specialist who did an ultrasound and found a cyst on my right ovary, with endometriosis. My doctor put me on 10mg of letrozole and 5mg of Norethindrone daily, for 3 months. He is suggesting this instead of a laproscopy because I am hoping to try and get pregnant after these 3 months are over. I finally got my insurance to approve it and will be starting it today… read more

Has Anyone Heard Of Nexplanon Causing Endo Or Endo-like Symptoms??
I was diagnosed with endo TODAY... I've had the Nexplanon implant since I was 16 (I'm now 21) - I've had it replaced twice. And with my first one, I thought I loved it because I had no periods. But what I've noticed since I've had the implant, was that I had consistent pain with sex (which I did not have before), and terrible cramping. Last year, I started having periods again - bad enough that I bled through 3 pairs of pants in one day (with pantiliners and a tampon). My doctor finally, after… read more
