Pain while on rigevidon

Does anyone have any experience of taking rigevidon? I grudgingly went on it as I was told it would control the heavy and extremely prolonged bleeding I was having. I’ve been quite “lucky” with my endo in that I haven’t had severe pain, nothing more than moderate cramping. I finished my first pack of rigevidon on Tuesday and started bleeding yesterday morning. The bleeding has been heavy (an ultra tampon every three hours) but the pain has been insane! I had to get up twice in the night to take painkillers which aren’t touching it. I’m about to try cocodamol to see if that helps but just wondered if this is normal? I’m fed up of ops and pills and nothing seeming to make any difference to this bleeding. Thanks

I have recently just started this and have experienced pain everyday since. I dony know whether it’s my ‘usual’ pain, or a side effect of the pill.

Interested to know how you got on?
