Pain/bleeding back 10 wks after Lap

Looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience...

I had Lap Apr. 24th to remove an Endomitrioma and Cautery of Stage 3-4 Endo on bladder and bowels. The past week or two I've started to have the same pain from the Endomitrioma (pain on my left, leg pain, ovary throbbing) and some less intense pain on my right ovary now too. Bleeding has become more frequent too. I've been on Visanne 3 months now and took a while to settle out, however, bleeding has started again, as well, the headaches have become more intense (I assume from the Visanne). Getting a little fed up and wondered if anyone had a similar experience and what you did in this situation. I think I'll be getting a specialist at this point.

Thanks!

I couldn't  handle visanne it made me suicidal.

Have you tried jut using a regular bcp and taking it continuously? I have been on marvelon for 7 yrs everyday and it works for me.

Sometimes you have to try different ones however finding it might be a lot of trial and error

I tried oral BCP before my surgery and just bled thru for like 70 days or so...I found it didn't work. I found Visanne to be good for a couple weeks, it all seemed to settle out. But the headaches have become more extreme and with the bleeding back Im feeling it is not working. I also find Visanne to be very sensitive. I work two part-time jobs and have varying hours...if I'm an hour off from taking it in the morning I start cramping/bleeding. Not sure if it is that time-sensitive or it's me?

I'd like to avoid Lupron, but finding there aren't many options left from there...

For me I never took anything when it came to the pill up until 6 months before my first surgery and that was Marvelon. When I had my surgery Lupron was next then back to marvelon. For me Marvelon worked but for some it doesnt.

I think all of the meds are time sensitive. I take mine every single day as soon as I wake up. If I am late it seems to be okay but that is rare.

Visanne gave me chronic headaches.

When you took the BCP did you take it every single day with no stops?
