My hormones are so low my gyn said I shouldn’t have periods. Yet I do. And the past year it’s become more frequent. I just had one two weeks ago and starting again today. The past few years the first day is pure hell and I lie in bed in misery. Hopefully it’s just a few years to go but damn a hysterectomy would give me 16-20 days of my life back a year. Thanks I needed to vent.

    I got my last IUD last year. Copper. I really hoped this would be done soon. Have estrogen patch and progesterone 300mg too.

      I had an IUD, too. All it gave me was even heavier bleeding. But that was just my case. Yours might be different. Do you have uterine fibroids? These can cause heavy bleedings, too.

      BTW, I don’t take any other hormons besides Slynd. I have long had problems with fibroids but they’re not growing anymore after focused ultrasound therapy.

          OK, maybe an option to check. Is asking another gyn for a second opinion possible where you live? I’m thinking about the dosage of estrogen and progesterone. I’m no medical professional but maybe they’re too high?
