Hi am about to get the contraception injection that lasts three months. I am told my periods will stop and will help suppress endo: what's ur experience? Does it help suppress endo, do it periods stop, any weight gain??
Contraception injection: Hi am about to get... - Endometriosis UK
Contraception injection
What is the injection for hun? Is it the menopause one or the depo?xxx
Depo
I went on depo and found it amazing! Stopped my periods and my pain reduced drastically within about a week. I found it so good I had the implant put in as its same hormone and it lasts 3 years x
Did you have any break through bleeding or other side effects? When you went on the implant did that stop your periods
I was told that however was complete opposite for me! I in fact bled for 2 out of the 3 months however it did suppress my endo pain.
I was on them for about 6 years was only toward then end I started to have them so then went on implant had 3 courses of this befor I started having problems with periods.
they say if you don't have a period in the first 6 weeks after injection you don't normally get them. However if you do bleed in the first 6 weeks you may still get them.
I was lucky didn't get any weight gain with either the implant or injection.
good luck.
