    Thanks for all your help

    They removed "sheet endo" over my ovary and the stuff behind my uterus was not "deep" so fingers crossed I won't end up having aggressive endo! This is my 4th AF skip, and so far have only had the tiniest bit of spotting but I think that was still stuff clearing out from the surgery. I haven't had much pain, just general achey-ness when AF is meant to be due. So all going well I won't have to change anything.... I keep reading horror stories about Mirena/implanon... I am a bit scarred to know what they would to together!!!

    Hi girls
    I don't understand why your Dr wants to change you from levlon ED if it is working. To me the just a bit achey is a good outcome. I tried all strengths of the pill (no sugar pills- no AF) but they didn't work for me AF still arrived i didn't have a good outcome with Depo or Zoladex. I have been on that many drugs for endo its not funny. I ended up giving up and just living with the pain. Now I am finding that I my new medication for another health condition is interfering with my pain killers

    I have been told that Mirena is supposed to be good and my Gyn has asked me about it. I don't like what I have read about when I googled it.

    But since you had a good outcome with depo you might have a good outcome with the Mirena as the hormone in it is like the depo (it is a synthetic progesterone hormone).

    Do a google and see what some other women have experienced. This is a really personal choice as it is your body and you have to live with what happens with the hormone treatment.

    Take care
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    I was wondering if you could tell me your experiences with Zoladex and Depo both of which I am currently on. I havent really found much information on Zoladex. I've had not the best experiences on it. But I would like to hear yours if thats possible.

    Thanks!

    Hi
    I didn't have them at the same time so my experience will be different to yours.
    Zoladex I had hot flushes, sweats, deepened voice (that don't return to normal),and a few other little probs (mod swings, oily skin).

    With Depo I had huge weight gain in the 9 months I was on it. I also started to have other probs but weight gain was the worst.

    Cheers
    Chris
