Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
Ladies I've been on my progesterone tablets now since the 31st and I have been bleeding since the 6th/7th... A week AFTER my period stopped.
I have lots of clots and it is all very dark blood.
I have cramping sometimes worse than others, sharp stabbing pains, and im becoming fatigued with headaches.
Now they put me on these thinking some sort of miracle would occur because I can't take the pill - they assumed it was the estrogen (it could have been it always made me very ill!)... obviously the continuous bleeding was from the progesterone in them?
I know the bleeding isnt going to stop - I could have told them this once it started.
And its a two month trial! =(
I found some info saying;
If pregnancy does not occur, progesterone levels will decrease, leading, in the human, to menstruation. Normal menstrual bleeding is progesterone-withdrawal bleeding.
Normally would make sense, if I wasnt on these tablets?
If im taking them each day my progesterone levels will always stay high - so I should be having a period (which is what they hoped would happen).
Any ideas whats going on??? similar experiences out there??

Ideas??
provera will stop your bleeding
cerezatte will stop your bleeding but you can be spotting maybe you need higher dose or different pill
I can't take BC pills...well mainly for the continuous bleeding and sickness I get.
Depo provera is a no no.. it didnt help my really.. well it was good for a year.. My bone density dropped alot so I can go back to it.
I am on Norethisterone 5MG.. Its not a spotting I think I could handle it if it was.. its a period.. not as heavy mind you as im use to but what I'd put down as a general period.. I change reguarly still.
Any ideas??
but this tablets helped a lot with my pain !
just wait and see if the bleeding does not stop change this tablets
try cerezatte instead i was on them for 2 years
and now im trying out natural progesteron and cross fingers so far so good !
I feel fatigued, headaches (days on end), aching legs, my pain is still really constant and some days horrible.
Im persistant to keep going - atleast for the month (if it doesnt get worse)....
My guess and its entirely a guess is...if I cant take BC pills because of the sickness I get and the constant bleeding Im guessing the bleeding is due to the progesterone in them?
I suppose I can't guess, I need to get a doctors opinion..
Hopefully it gets better - I have a appointment in June with the professor - early June.. I dunno if I'll hold out that long though - but hopefully it subsides!
