For HRT I have a uterus I’m on an estrogen patch, but for my progestin , I am taking the mini pill Lyza, .35 mg a day. I hope that’s enough for menopause, I’m 53. Is Lyza okay? They are not giving me anything else, pills or topical.
Hello! I have a few questions but for that I need to explain what is happening to me on the bc pill . In Jan/Feb 2022 I started on the combibed one and I was getting 2 periods a months so, after 7.5 months a switched to Ceracette. I expected it to mess around a bit with my period but it is Sept 23, (a year and a week since I switched) and I experienced the following since January (giving it 3 months of messing around with my body without worrying about it): January: started my period during the last week and lasted for 2 weeks. No periods til mid May: 2 weeks of bleeding, pain and lots of water retention, pimples. This was the same in June, July, August and NOW (started my period on the 4th and it is 19th). I change my REGULAR tampon every 3 hours and it is normally soaked. I see the clots. I am really bloated and have a lot of water retention. I need to pee at least 2 times in the middle of the night thus I cannot sleep well. I have vivid dreams, I am sore. I dream all the time about going to the loo and not being able to release the urine. I ended up ordering the menstrual cup because I was spending a lot on sanitary products. I also had headaches during this month. 1st question: why do I have to suffer like this after a year? 2nd question: why when it seems to be almost over, after 2 days I start a new period? (I know this is always happening because I am still in pain and a lot of water retention) 3rd question: what is going o in my uterus to have this much amount of tissue to release? 4th question: why do I still need to take ibuprofens? 5th question: why do I experience water retention when in theory it is caused when the levels of progesterone decrease? Background information: I have experienced very painful periods as a teen. Menarche: 9 years and 8 months old I used to faint, everything went black and I experienced cold sweats. I have always experienced water retention and pimples too. I started taking BC pills because I was having up to 3 weeks of PMS (including very sore breasts). I was always getting extremely bloated (even a woman asked me if I was pregnant). Thank in in advance, Tania Abeledo
Wow. I'm sorry to hear what you go through. It sounds like me and it's so frustrating to try to figure out these imbalances. I hope typu can find help and feel better. The biggest problem for me is not feeling well enough to get things done. ❤❤❤❤
How does 0.35 Norethindrone help regulate periods for someone with PCOS? ie: make it a 28 day cycle rather than 6-8 week cycle untreated.
Super helpful...Thank you!
Thank you
