Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with endometriosis stage 1 almost 5 weeks ago via a laparoscopy. They removed everything they found and have now put me on the Mini pill (Cerazette to be precise!) I woke up yesterday morning with a full period! (Sorry for the TMI!) I was told by my doctor to expect some spotting but this is definitely not spotting. It is very heavy and very very painful!! I just wanted to see whether this was normal and whether anyone else has had the same experience?
I have taken my pill at the same time every day for almost 4 weeks apart from one day where I took it an hour late!!
Thanks in advance🙂
Weirdly I've just had the same thing. Been taking the combined pill (loestrin) for just over a month now (with no break as instructed by doctor) and have just had one of the worst most painful periods I've ever had. All I can think is that it's the hormones building up inside. I'm hoping they'll settle though because I can't go through this once a month for the rest of my life!
That’s very strange! I’m sorry that you are suffering too, it’s horrendous!
That’s what I was thinking, maybe it is still getting in to our systems? But my doctor did not mention anything I was just told I wouldn’t have one!! Me neither!
I hope it eases soon x
Yeah I was told that the whole point of taking my pills back to back is that I wouldn't get periods. In fairness though the pill does seemed to have settled my groin/abdo pains that I was getting outside of period times so that's a plus. Just wondering whether maybe Loestrin isn't the right pill for me.
I was told the same but unfortunately it hasn’t really reduced my pain. I’m still very reliant on painkillers and the only thing that eases it is yoga!
Maybe it isn’t! I would go back to your doctor/specialist if you can, I’m going to this week and discuss it
I’ve been told that I need to stick it out for another month at least so I’ll wait and see I think.
I hope you find some relief soon, lovely!
Thank you and you! I’ve been told the same by several people too, although frustrating!!
We can do it💪🏼
