Re: bleeding stopped

[Guest guest]

Hi Karin -- well what happened to you is EXACTLY what is happening

to me. I'm bleeding and bleeding. I was taking 4 mg a day of E

cream and then went to 8 mg because 4 was doing NOTHING for me.

Well I started feeling better on 8 a day but after about a week,

started bleeding and it got heavier and heavier. I had some 8%

crinone gel and used it 2 nights in a row (that 90 mgs of vaginal

P). I got the depression back BAD and rashes on my fingers and hot

flashes (because I lowered my E). But everytime I add any E, like

you, I start bleeding immediately.

I HATE to use P alone but I think I may have to. But then what? I

need to stop having flashes too. I just ordered some Prochieve 4%

so I think I will try to use that every night along with 6 mgs of E.

Maybe that will curtail my bleeding.

How much P gel will you use? Daily or 2 weeks out of the month? I

don't know if I can handle all that P!

I will probably take the 4% for every other day for 6 days (which would make it

last 12 days

out of the month).
