Hello all, it’s me again… I’m wondering if anyone can help/provide advice with the contraceptive treatment I’m currently having issue with. Previously I was taking desogestrel back to back no break to stop ovulation. To say this didn’t agree with me would be an understatement, I bled every day and

First period on progesterone only pill
Hey everyone💗 I was put on Desogestrel (the progesterone only pill) around 2.5 weeks ago to help 'manage' my endo while I wait for surgery and I would normally be due on my period in a few days time but I'm not really sure what to expect now I'm on the POP. My consultant said that I won't bleed and

How do you take a double dose of desogestrel?
Hello, my gynaecologist has recommended I double the dose of my mini pill to try and reduce pain and stop my constant bleeding. I've struggled to find information on the best way of doing this - am I best taking one every 12 hours (eg. One at 9am and one at 9pm) or am I better off taking 2 at the same

Progesterone Only Pill
Hi everyone, I little back story, previously went on Cerelle/Desogestrel before my Endo diagnosis and it was a pill I had every little symptoms on. However, I had breakthrough bleeding and severe acne with it as side effects. Since my diagnosis I cannot get settled and I have tried the Mirena Coil

Bleeding 3 weeks on desogesterel
I have been taking Desogesterel since March and at first it was fine, I still had a monthly bleed on it which was not painful. In July I discussed future conception with a GP who told me that i would be fine coming off the pill and ignored my endo diagnosis because i had it done privately.. I came off

Double-dose progesterone to control symptoms?
Hi all, I’m 35 with suspected endo and been on arm implant (nexplanon) + desogestrel (progesterone only pill) for a year and a half. The implant on its own stopped the worse of cramps and heavy bleeding, but I was getting light bleeds almost daily for a couple of months, so was prescribed first a combined

Endo regrowth after failed IVF
Hi all, I don’t know if anyone has any help or advice on this but I thought I’d ask. Has anyone gone through multiple rounds of IVF and found that their endo has started to worsen after laparoscopic removal? I’ve had 3 failed rounds of PGD IVF (medicated both long and short protocols) and had my laparoscopy

Cerelle desogestrel
I've been taking 2x desogestrl tablets daily since January and have noticed the past few months cramping but no period, I've had to go to hospital for morphine to calm this, could this mean my endo has grown back even thought i only had a lap in March 22?

Private Surgery worth it?
Hi everyone,I have recently had a follow up with my gynae who has told me that my Ultrasound did not show endo but has shown a mass which they think is either a ruptured cyst or hydrosalpinx in my right fallopian tube. I have consented to have the fallopian tube removed during surgery if it needs to

Mirena coil and double desogestrel. Is it too much?
hi, first time posting. Short version - I currently have the coil in and my dr has just told me to double my desogestrel. Firstly, I’m worried about the safety of this? Secondly I really don’t feel I’m coping with the hormone overload. Has anybody else had this treatment before? Is it sustainable? Will

Pain over 12 weeks after op
Hi all I had my laparoscopy at the end of January and have been healing fine, with no (surgery related) pain. But the past few days I’ve had twinges around where my incisions were (ovaries area) and today it’s been really sore, especially when bending, walking, and going down steps. Has anyone else

Progesterone pill for Endometriosis

Provera for 1 week only
Hi Everyone, I started heavily bleeding on Desogestrel after 4 months so I asked to try Provera. The Dr would only give me a weeks worth, enough to try and stop the bleeding for my smear test next week. I thought you could take it for longer than that at a lower dose as an alternative to the mini
