bleeding stopped

[Guest guest]

Well my month long bleeding odessy has now stopped. The last week I could not

take any E

at all and took 100mg Prometrium and 4% Procheive and also some Advil. I tried

adding back

my patch once or twice and it made me bleed more. I am now just taking some

transdermal E

..5mg twice a day and for the first time in a month feel human again. Using the

vaginal gel I

did not experience any major hair loss. When I started on the oral P I did sleep

well but did

get very depressed. With that much P (having not taken any in quite some time)

and no E I

felt like I did after I had my babies (postpartum depression) and crying for no

reason.

I see my Dr in a week again (she is back from vacation) and I think for now I

will be using the

vaginal P monthly and will try to keep my E somewhat lower. What I did notice

with using just

the E my Test dropped to 27 and I did have decent hair growth but no real sex

drive. For me

right now I think it was about finding a form of P that works and if I get some

of of the side

effects I will try the Saw Palmetto.

Karin,

So glad your bleeding stopped. Did you have any cramping or leg

pain? I am bleeding now and yesterday I was in excruciating pain,

today is not bad. I hope we get this P thing right. So does your

hair look ok after your loss? Mine is awful. I am not losing AS much

but it is so depressing to look at. Usually with my period comes

more hairloss so I am holding my breath. That is weird that you had

hairgrowth with such a low E mark. I have been on the E for 3

months. I grew some new hair but it mostly fell back out. When I

comb it falls everywhere. Hair about 1-2 " long. Very discouraging

for me. I still lose so much hair that I keep it secured. I feel

very unfeminine right now. Without the P, I am not sleeping as well

either. Let's pray for the balance.

Before the bleeding episode I was taking anywhere from 4 mg to 8mg of E no P.

That is

why my uterine lining was so thick and the bleeding would not stop. Hair was

great on all

that E. I have straight blond hair and it was never super thick but I had

definite regrowth

off of the spiro and on the higher E. I did not see any regrowth on the spiro

but it slowed

the hair fall out.

Well I'm STILL bleeding big time. I can't believe this. I just used

1 mg of E this morning and bingo - I started bleeding. I think I

have to stop all E at this point. But now I'm getting that spasming

back pain. It feels like a pulling in my upper back and neck (my 2

weak spots on the spine). This is just awful.
