Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 All, Happy New Year everyone!! I've just had a hysteroscopy on 12/12 where it seems my doctor was able to open my cervix that was blocked, and remove 2 other small areas of scar tissue. He kept a balloon in place for 2 weeks and has also prescribed 2 months worth of hormones. Is it common to prescribe 2 full months of hormones afterward? I was prescribed to take 20 days of estrogen right after the procedure, then 10 days of estrogen & progesterone. Wait one week for my period (keeping my fingers crossed), and then another 20 days of estrogen and 10 days of estrogen & progesterone, and then wait another week for my period. Is this common? B.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 B, Yes, it is common for doctors to perscribe hormone treatment for anywhere from one to three months after hysteroscopy to try to regulate your cycle, increase thickness of endometrium, and to try to get your period to come on with the progestrone. Dr Palter treated me in Aug and wanted me to stay on estrogen for a total of 3 months, but when my period came naturally after only one month, he suggested I stop and just " see what happens naturally. " I hope you are feeling better and in time, you do get somewhat used to all the hormones. W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
