Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I've not had a period in 3.5 months, so I am using Prometrium to induce a bleed. Glad I'm on bio-identical...but still, I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt, Progesterone SUCKS for me. My pain is definitely tied in with hormones (and I also suspect pelvic floor dysfunction). The first night that I took P. I woke up about 3 to 4 times at night to pee (I have IC), but I hadn't done that in a good long time. Then the second night, the P. made me so drowsy I had to go to bed. Then, if all this isn't enough, I could feel vulvar irritation starting (when otherwise it has been doing pretty good). Estrogen is soooo good for my bladder & v. pain...they feel so much better when I'm only on it and not the P. If any of you suspect 'hormones' as a cause to your Vulvar pain, then I suggest you read Dr. Vliet's book, "Screaming to be Heard"....it's BIG and it's LONG, but it is the most informative info on hormones I've ever read. I've had to push for every hormone test I've had and every treatment (hormonally) I'm currently using...but the estrogen, by far, has helped me the most. It may not help everyone, but it may help some. Hugs, ~Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
