RE: Question for the ladies

[Guest guest]

I was getting my period twice a month really heavy and the doctor put me

on Provera for ten days. However, that stuff puts me in a real " dark

place " where I don't want to be, so stopped taking it to regulate my

periods and decided to live with the constant bleeding. Can't take birth

control pills because they make me terribly sick. Was diagnosed with

adenomyosis about a month ago and will be undergoing a hysterectomy on

Tuesday. Not saying that's what you need. My problem was diagnosed with

a sonogram.

Sometimes with the birth control pills if you change a pharmaceutical

company you may get better results. The Provera usually worked to put me

back on schedule, but always suffered from severe depression from it.

That doesn't happen to everyone, just one of the side effects that

happened to have hit me.

Speak to your doctor about that and possible sonogram to see if there

are any other processess going on.

Hope this helps.

BC pills helped me with similar problems but I had to use the " high

dose " type to get the benefits. Instead, my gyn put in a new type

of IUD (called Mirena) that takes about 3 months to get full benefit

from. What a huge difference! No pain and just sporatic periods

that are more like breakthrough bleeding than a true period. Love

it!!
