Dienogest

[Welshpearl]

Hi all,

My 17 year old daughter has just had her follow up post op appointment following a laparoscopy which she had last October. She has confirmed Endometriosis and all the surface (that they could see) Endo was removed. Unfortunately her pain has not improved and she says it's the same as before the op. The consultant has recommended she could go on Dienogest to try and help. She is scared of what might happen to her. She's currently taking 2 Desogestrel per day to stop her periods and is reluctant to swap as she ends up throwing up with pain when she has her period. What experience have others had? I've heard mixed.

Also if there are any other young girls my daughter's age going through the same and would like to get in touch with her for support - my daughter feels there's not anyone she knows her age and would like to speak to others, pls message.

Many thanks.
