Experiences with

Rigevidon

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.

The gynae put me on a tri-cycle of rigevidon to see if it would help the pain - it didn't, and I bled straight through with clots, I still had clots coming out once the bleeding had stopped and I was off the pill. I also struggle with extreme PMS symptoms every month.

Hi, My gynae recently put me on Rigevidon for 3 months to see what happens to my endo symptoms. Apparently the symptoms I have are puzzling as they don't fit into the textbook description. I'm in month 2 and have found that I havent stopped spotting for 5 weeks. (1 week since starting the pill.

I am into my third month of taking Rigevidon but noticed that I started suffering from migraines. They wake me in the early hours (3am, 4am) and I can't go back to sleep. Spent all weekend in bed - never had such a suffering (apart from Endo pain).

I’m still not taking anything but have been prescribed a combined pill rigevidon. Which I’m still very scared about taking.

He gave me Rigevidon, but he said it's only for pain control and it's not a treatment for cyst. I read this cyst will affect the eggs because of the pressure on ovarian and you may loose your Fertility.

I’m 41 and pill that has been recommended is Levest or Rigevidon. I don’t know whether to give my body more time or take the pill. Has anyone else experienced anything similar or got any advice? Thank you.

I was on rigevidon for nearly 6 years and didnt like the side effects as they gave me bad mood swings, but instead of suggesting other pills that may be suitable or any testing I was told to come back when I want to gey pregnant. Any advice would be helpful:)

So i’ve just been placed on this combined pill , i took one about 2 weeks ago because i didn’t realise you’re supposed to take it on the first day of your period! and now i’m 6 days late, i did start taking my pill again 4 days ago but i’m stressing out over my period! i can’t be pregnant because i haven

I’ve been on the pill (rigevidon) for 6 years now and I often take pill packs back to back to better control my periods. I’ve taken a few back to back recently (maybe around 4-5 packs) and I’m half way through my current pack and haven’t missed any pills.

I have always been on the pill (rigevidon) and this kept my periods at bay (for most of the time) but the swelling and bowl issues have most definitely always been present. Nausea also every single day with the feeling of being extremely bloated.

In august I got hold of the hospital at my wits end and managed to get through to him, he put me on a different pill (Rigevidon) which actually helped and the bleeding thankfully stopped for around 3 months. Had an ultrasound to check mirena placement and all was fine.

My GP put me on Rigevidon. I had told her that I had the coil removed after 18 months due to mental health issues including suicidal thoughts. I now realise that one of the active ingredients in Rigevidon is levonorgestrel, the same as the Mirena coil.

In worried that with endometriosis I am or won't even be fertile and I don't know how long it will take to have a normal period after coming off the pill rigevidon. Has anyone had problems conceiving and if so has anyone used a fertility clinic?

I have been taking the combined pill (rigevidon) for almost 2 years and forgot to take it with me on holiday. Is it ok for me to stop taking it and start again when I am home in a month? Is this dangerous in any way? Thanks

Hello I have been on rigevidon since August last year. Have had serious mental health issues since being on it but it has helped my endometriosis by having a fake period every 3 months. I am not sure if I come off of it what will happen?

Hi, my doctor has recently switched my combined pill to another brand. They are both combined pills and have the same hormones in them. However I just finished my 4 day break (I am taking pills back to back for 9 weeks then I take a 4 day break). The pharmacist told me I would be protect straight away

I’m new to taking the pill, and my doctor told me to take it for 3 months then have a week break then carry on however the packet days take for 21 days then 7 days off I don’t know what to do and my doctors aren’t any help, does anyone know if it’s safe for me to take it for 3 months

Hello, I started Rigevidon on the first day of my period and have been taking it every day since like the instructions say.

I came off the pill and went onto to non-hormonal / copper coil. 3 months later, once the pill (Rigevidon) was out of my system, I began getting sharp and dull pains in my ovaries for around a week at a time. I was told it was painful ovulation and provided anti-biotics, which did nothing.
