You all know my troubles with my cycles, I have certainly moaned about them enough here lately. I am confused as to what is causing the problem, and hoping you all could help.
I was going along just fine on NO medication eating a low-carb diet. I wasn't losing much weight, but my periods were normal as they could be. Then, in January of this year, they stopped. The diet was unchanged, so I don't know what made it stop. So, until June I had nothing. Then, on June 18 it came back. This is August 27 and it still has not gone away.
I have had success with Provera (progesterone) but that causes a chemical d&c, so after a few days I have a flood. The gyno put me on a 50 milligram BCP, and I bleed every day. He told me to double the dose, and voila! No bleeding. Drop back down to the normal dose, here comes the flood again.
Do you think that I need more estrogen, or more progesterone? All of one and none of the other? The doctor is just saying "ride this out for 3 months and we'll discuss the options after that." I'm afraid my only options are surgical in nature, and I really really really want to avoid that. I can't afford the time off work to recover!
Anyway, thanks for any advice you can offer!
