Brief Answer:
Stopping menses takes 3 months to reduce pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Endometriosis pain could be due to adenomyosis ( collection of blood in womb) also.

2) Implant should result in stopping menses thereby helping in pain relief.

3) Wait for 3 months and implant leading to stopping of menses should help you in reducing pain.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
