Hi I'm 27 years old and virgin girl. I'm a endometriosis patient from my age of 12. I had laprascopic surgery for chocolate cyst 9cm on September 2018. Then I take dinogest 2mg 2 per day for 6 months I stopped that because bleeding during tablet. Then I took Ethinyl Estradiol (0.02mg)+ Desogestrel (0.15mg) for 16 months. Now my problem is heavy period during birth control pills I'm using back to back for 42 days. So now I'm taking Norethisterone 10mg 2 per day for 4 days then 10mg 1 per day for 3 days then 5mg 1 per day for 15 days. Now last one week I have pain in midnight lower abdominal,leg, back, urine passing area around pain. Then spotting blood. I couldn't sleep in night. I'm sleeping at night suddenly I have urgently go to bathroom for passing urine. I wake up suddenly then go to bathroom but urine doesn't came for more then 10 second. After I'm passed my urine. My pain was started. So I took painkiller. This problem from last 2 to 3 years. I saw your post you are taking Norethisterone. How many days you are taking and mg?. You feeling any side effects like me?
