on cyclic bhrt but still nocycle

[Guest guest]

Hello,

For a very outgoing person I feel quite awkward on here! I

am having a hard time bothering any of you out there since I have always been

the r.n. who could pretty much figure out my own darn period or ask the ob docs

where I worked in maternity in Arizona. We moved to Va and I'm working in my

Orthopedic husbands office. He knows nothing about womens problems!

My deal is that the two drs. I've gone to for bhrt have different opinions

and even get a bit testy if you tell them you want bhrt. I found a nurse

practitioner who would order me the very low oral dose bhrt. then we tried

bhrt creams again very low dose. I called her office to get a higher dose so I

would actually cycle and, she had quit. Great! So now I have my husband and the

compounding pharmacist until I can find a good gyn dr. They put me on biest

1mg=1ml twice /day and prometrium 200. when I completed this months cycle I

still haven't gotten a period. I did take the prometrium 100mg vag.2x day for

5days the last 5 I took it oral. Could that be the problem? or maybe In November

I took Provera only for 10 days and got a period. Could the provera have messed

me up? I have had about 5 periods on my own this year. Right now I feel like I

should get a period any minute but so far its been two days since I finished the

bhrt and nada. I have had simple hyperplasia before so I want to definitely

cycle.

How long does it take to get there? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Caroline

It can take a few months of consistent E plus cycling of the prometrium about

10 or 12 days in the second half of your cycle in order to begin getting a bleed

after menopause has hit.

Caroline...

Re-reading your post, I believe that, yes - the Provera could very well have had

something to do with having the shedding period and then not getting a period

for this long. The nurse of one of my doctors took Depo provera shots and told

me that the doctor told her that it can cause a women to have no period for any

time up to a year...she also said that depending on a woman's age, 3 shots in a

year could keep her from ever having another period and it could certainly keep

her from ever conceiving - TRUE? I don't know, but I do know she never had

another period and was in her 30's
