Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Hi Tani, Thanks so much for getting back to me. I am glad that you are doing better. It makes me feel as if there's hope. I started progestin (norethindrone 5mg tablets, 2 x a day, on August 19th. The doctor said that I could take it for three months and then cut the dosage in half after that. I don't like being on this medication, but the bleeding has just about stopped (after 3 months straight)except after intercourse. I 've already gained weight and feel as if my emotions are way out there. I have so many fibroids(inside and out my uterus) and am so bloated that I feel disgusting. One fibroid is pressing on my back, the other on my uterus. My doctor said that a hysterectomy is the way to go for me( the way that he said it, it was like it's no big deal) so I went and had a second opinion and this doctor said the same thing. Both doctors said that an ablation was not for my situation and UME was risky and not too many doctors around here perform it. So I'm just trying to deal with this the best way that I can. But it concerns me to stay on this hormone, especially with what I've heard about the connection to breast cancer.
