I hate to think what it was just before my period). I don’t have a whole lot of information because it’s a new friend who just barely touched on it.Bleeding continuously can mean that ovulation is not happening. My doctor’s only suggestion to avoid another ectopic pregnancy and manage the bleeding was BC. Then it can stop ovulation and therefore stop progesterone. yes, compounded progesterone is bioidentical progesterone.Thank for the reply.

The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. I now have golf ball size a cyst on my left ovary, never had a cyst before, read that Mirena causes cyst. Available for Android and iOS devices. Here is a helpful section about curcumin from Examine.com:To supplement curcumin with piperine, take 500 mg of the former with 20 mg of the latter, thrice a day (i.e., 1,500 mg of curcumin and 60 mg of piperine per day).Finally, no I don’t think progesterone stops the body from making its own.

Iron corrects the iron deficiency caused by heavy periods, AND it lightens periods by increasing blood viscosity. Much appreciated, thank you so much!Dr.Briden, I had a heavy period since I was a teen . Three months ago I underwent a surgery (uterus curettage) due to bleeding after two and a half month delay. Gyn put me on ‘Diane’ pill immediately after surgery for my skin and to give my ‘ovaries a break’. In your experience- since my endometriosis/adenomyosis has been successfully supressed- is going straight to a maintence dosing of prometrium (300mg nightly) a good starting point? Note: Sublingual tablet; do not suck, chew, or swallow whole.Slow-release; Note: contents are intended to be sprinkled on food or liquid but should not be chewed or crushed.Film-coated; tablet is scored and may be split; Note: 150 mg tablets can be broken into two-thirds or one-third to provide a 100 mg and 50 mg strength, respectivelySlow-release; Note: this lollipop delivery system requires the patient to slowly allow dissolution.
I will take it in to discuss more about starting progesterone and discuss the other diagnosis option. Or will I need to eventually take them cyclically?

And as for capsule vs cream, the capsule works better to control bleeding and for sleep.Hi my name is Latoya a 31 year old women who is currently suffering from heavy periods. (her specialist said her uterus looked totally different than before.) But I’m not sure of the exact number.Personally, much of the above has had the opposite effect on me! Unfortunately the progesterone is not having the desired effect, even at such a high dose. I wanted to try taking Vitex, will increase my progesterone , you note only taking this for a few months and i wonder how to maintain my progesterone level after this? The past year I have been sugar and grain free and noticed a ridiculously huge improvement after 2months. But they’re still heavy, plus I notice my breasts are tender and my hair falls out day before I start and feels dry during my period (actually opposite of most people who become oily).

and I still had some very heavy cycles. During my period I increase the iron and turmeric by 1 tablet each per day and I take over the counter anti-inflammatories.

Do you have any pointers where I could or should start? After my second pregnancy my period again returned and was a long cycle. The benefits of using medroxyprogesterone acetate in breast-feeding women outweigh any risks.

Thanks Lara. Thank you!Also would you have any idea why prometrium might cause moderate dry mouth and a mild dry eyes in someone?I believe the bioavailability is higher with modern micronized progesterone. It is thanks to you that I have managed to persuade my GP to prescribe Prometrium for PMS/Heavy periods and wouldn’t mind betting that I am in perimenopause. I have that page open in my browser!

This feels really hopeful.

This has certainly been my experience. Thanks LaraIt’s not always possible to see adenomyosis on a scan.
I live in Moscow, Russia. You can also find me on Facebook under Sam Allen wearing a bright red and orange hat!I love connecting with fellow creatives as you can see! Or should you take both?Just stumbled on this blog and LOVE it! For last three years I tend to get functional ovarian cysts from time to time, which delay my menstruations dramatically, I have adenomyosis, a small fybroid (or even two ones), an issue with one breast. Micronised or natural progesterone is called Utrogestan capsules in the UK as is available by prescription. Would another type of scan be helpful? Do you see any value in me discussing the alternative prescription with my doctor? Yes, turmeric can have the opposite effect in some people. I suspect it’s something to do with genetic differences in coagulation or clotting tendencies.

Nether my MD or ND know how to help me.

Can you reduce your progesterone diet?There should never be a need to reduce progesterone. I would love to hear your opinion/advice on uterine/endometrial polyps? My hormone levels were all in normal range prior to commencing but it has been a godsend and alot of my food intolerances have disappeared also. I also take some vegetable cap that helps reduce excess estrogen, and avoid dairy, per Dr. Briden. I don’t want to stop breastfeeding but I want my period back so we can try to get pregnant again.

My doctor was very supportive, which was great.

In rare cases, Avapro can cause a condition that results in the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, possibly leading to kidney failure.

I’ve been bleeding non-stop(24/7 365) for two and a half years now with no signs of stopping and your telling me cows milk may cause it not to stop?Good morning, I love your blog and follow you on social media. You were right – it was adenomyosis – and endometriosis (severe).thanks for letting me know! I really miss ovulating. Had severe acne and was diagnosed with PCOS. I am just not feeling myself.I am now avoiding dairy, wheat, sugar and alcohol. She did agree to writing me a prescription for progestin 100mg to take day 17 – 26.Although it helps me to sleep better my cycle remains unchanged after three months. I have read that thyroid issues can cause this, but my TSH is quite low, just .9. I also have Hashimoto’s, so that’s obviously another reason for heavy periods.

What lead me to seeing her, was because I was spotting for about 4 months. Any suggestions?

However, It made my legs swell so they took it out today. She is insistent on progestin.

I checked my hormones several times throughout 2 years and I have extremely low progesterone (0,1 ng/ml – 0,4ng/ml) and a little bit too low estrogen.
