Took about 4 months to work with my body but cramping is gone completely. Some weight gain, some dizziness and occasional nausea. Slight swelling in fingers every so often. None of these symptoms are enough to make me want to quit taking the med.

I have endometriosis and the only relief I have found is the Lupron Depot shot. This pill was also prescribed as add back therapy for it. The Lupron Depot sent me into a menopausal state (hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings). I found that combined with the norethindrone acetate (Aygestin), those symptoms went away. I could clearly tell when I missed a pill. I've been dealing with endometriosis ... Show Full Comment

The Lupron Depot sent me into a menopausal state (hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings). I found that combined with the norethindrone acetate (Aygestin), those symptoms went away. I could clearly tell when I missed a pill. I've been dealing with endometriosis for over 8 years, and the 6 months I used it was the only time I felt "normal". After a year off the drug, all of my endometriosis symptoms are at their worst. My GYN has prescribed this drug again and I am very thankful for that. Combined with the Lupron Depot shot, I think Aygestin is GREAT.

I was fine when i started talking this medication but about a week later i started bleeding and it didnt stop for almost 3 weeks. i told the dr and she said that was normal with the medicine. but when i stopped it the bleeding stopped immediately.. i will not try this drug again. i have had endometriosis for 8 years and i know its suppose to help with that but i would rather not take it..

I have fibroids,an enlarged uterus and possibly endometriosis.I'm facing a posssible hysterectomy. Been on this med for 21 days, bleeding has gotten lighter, missed a pill for 1 day and had severe bleeding, cramping and passing of large clots again as before the norethindrone. again. No side effects noted. I will see my gyn today to discuss further options.
