Doctor gave me Aygestin (Norethindrone) to stop period
As I previously posted I have been having very irregular periods and I have been on my period for 55 days now. I saw my OB/GYN yesterday who was wonderful. She gave me a prescription for Aygestin which I think is basically a progesterone type hormone. She said it should turn my period off slowly. I have a weeks supply of medication.
I had blood work done and also have to go in for a pelvic ultrasound. Once I go back in for a followup she is going to talk about a "long term" solution. She didn't bring up birth control at all because she knows I want to get pregnant--She's so awesome!
And funnily enough she didn't even mention my weight--which is double awesome!
So, just posting this in case anyone does a search in the future and is going through a similar very long period and needs help!
Oh, by the way, my period went from super heavy with clots, to barely spotting. So I think it's working but we'll see!
