hey everyone I’ve been going to the GP for years about the same issues and they have recently suspected endometriosis and have prescribed me a pill called Rigevidon I haven’t taken it just yet and just wondered if anyone else is on this and how they find it.

I was placed on that when I was at uni. I had already been on microgynon previously and instead the uni doctor placed me on the cheaper alternative which is Rigevidon. Personally I didn’t get on with that particular contraceptive pill. But everyone is different as some of my uni friends found Rigevidon fine. With any contraceptive pill make sure to check the side effects. And if you experience them- then it’s time to change your contraceptive pill. I’m back on Microgynon now and I personally have no side effects with that one. Hope this helps! All the best and I hope you get some answers regarding your suspected Endo soon. xx

I take Rigevidon back to back. It has really helped to keep my symptoms under control.

No problem. Everyone's experience of endo is different and everyone will respond differently to treatments. I hope you find what works best for you. xx
