Again, relief while I took it. A big interruption to my cycle and did reduce the endometriosis and adhesions till I had taken it for the max time and 2 months after stopping the med, everything returned..
Working / Worked
worked to stop periods, but at 10mg began going through menopause at age 24. Went down to 5mg after gaining 30lbs in 8 months. Since then, gained another 10lbs in 6 months. Still no periods.
Working / Worked
I increased my aygestin .5 daily in combo with Estradiol .5 daily and feel that this the reason I have gained 12 lbs over 6mo. want to get to the lowest dose and get back into my clothes again. Has anyone else done this combo and gained or lost weight? I now have excess belly around the middle that I never had before. I am a 55yr. old. menopausal woman.

This works but does a number on my emotional state.

Stand still, not better, not worse

I use this only when i need to stop a period (for my wedding day/honeymoon and for holidays etc), it works well but when you stop taking it the "after period" is horrendous!

Took as an add back therapy with Lupron. Helped with hot flashes
