I have severe endometriosis & a double uterus(yes, that means 2 separate periods). My periods would last between 7 & 15 days w/ heavy clotting & very painful cramps. Last year my dr. said he didn't think it was good to bleed every month, so he put me on Jolessa. The 1st month was great w/ no period & no side effects. Then I started spotting & had a period on & off for about 2 months. Then, I didn't have my period for 2 months @ all & the following month had a 3 day period. The next month(May), I started spotting & it continued until 2 weeks ago(2nd week of July). Then an actual period started & is still continuing. So that's 7 weeks of spotting & 2 weeks(so far) of full bleeding. Besides the on/ off bleeding, I have had no other side effects. Although this severely irregular bleeding is annoying, it is still better than my regular periods so I am reluctant to stop taking them. My dr. said it could really take up to a year to fully regulate my cycle, so I am willing to wait.

I am on my seconded pack (month 4) I have endo and thought it would be awesome to only have my period 4 times a year. To my dismay, I've been spotting for the past 2 months and counting. I had a full period about 3 weeks ago and had hoped it was ending and the spotting has continued! I don't want to give up this far. I am SO hopeful that it will stop, but I am really losing that hope. Also, I have cramping still (maybe from the endo) and feel like an emotional wreck!!! I do NOT want to go back to having my regular periods... they were really heavy and severely painful, but this is really getting old fast too! I am 34 and am thinking that maybe I should just go talk to the Dr. about having a hysterectomy. I don't have children and don't think I'll ever have any anyways. Im older and am not in a relationship, so maybe I should just take the plunge?! Help!

I don't know I have been on it for two weeks, now I have headache and yes I feel like my insides are twisting up inside of me don't know if its the medication or my endometriosis? I have cyst and fibroids also inside of me that might be shedding in size due to hormones? Don't know what to think for sure but I have been depressed lately more than usual. I thought it was me just thinking just my mind is messing with me but after reading these posts I figure It must be this jolessa s**t! Not sure if I'm going to stay on this for another cycle of piss.... BUT I need to take something for my REALLY BAD CASE OF ENDO? Does any one else with endo know of a better BC? I don't really like playing with different drugs in my body. I will feel better with dealing with one good/decent BC that can help my endo!!!PLEASE HELP!!!Don't know what to do!!!
