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

[ClaudiaGrace]

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.

[LISaprag in reply to ClaudiaGrace]

that’s so good i’m starting it soon hopefully works for me

[LISaprag in reply to ClaudiaGrace]

[Nalared]

My daughter is starting it today for her adenomyosis. She had prostap for 12 months and her laparoscopy showed no active endometriosis. I'm very scared of side effects as she is always nauseous and in pain as it is and no quality of life.She has mirena in also..not sure what other options she has..she's only 24.Any advice would be great thankyou

[LISaprag in reply to Nalared]

i’ve been on it a week and it’s been great i’ve now got very light bleeding but i started it when i ovulated so this is normal apparently and the pains are not bad nothjng like period pains like a ache i think it’s spotting as it’s so light and i’m not sure for another week for period they say takes 3 months to settle but i can go about my day more then when i started it give it a go you can always stop it if needed x

[LISaprag in reply to Nalared]
