what’s dienogest like for pain

[VioletCoffee]

i'm on dienogest and it has reduced my pain flare ups by so much, it's stopped me bleeding completely too- game changer! 🩷

[LISaprag in reply to VioletCoffee]

did you get any side effects how bad was your pain

[VioletCoffee in reply to LISaprag]

the only side effect i really had was at the start and that was some nausea, obviously it differs for everyone but that went away after a couple of weeks! and my pain was horrible, i still get flare ups every now and then but it's so much better, and i used to get this leg pain that had me limping but haven't had it since going on the dienogest and i started it in march!

do you have endometriosis

I stuck with it for three months but did absolutely nothing for pain etc had to go back on decapeptyl jabs. X

I tried taking it on two occasion for up to 4 months at a time. This is one of the worst drugs I have taken. It made my pain worse and I did not stop bleeding for 4 months every day. It also made me feel depressed with feeling of anxiety, anger irritability.

This is my experience, I know progesterone affects people very differently.

Good Luck xx

Initially I felt very emotional on it, but persisted and pain is almost gone, and periods have stopped. 2 months in my mood is great again. Only side effect I don't like are v painful breasts

Hi, I take it for endo, it reduced my pain, especially pain after/during sex.

[LISaprag in reply to ClaudiaGrace]

how long did it take to stop pain

[ClaudiaGrace]

Fairly quickly, I think I had a follow up appointment about 6 weeks later and was reporting it working.
