Hi everyone
I am new here, I am 46 and been having loads of problems went to the Dr in April and had a very heavy period which went on for weeks given noristerone sent for a scan and was told my lining was 13.5mm which was very thick. I went to see a consultant and had a hysterectopy last May with a biopsy she told me that my lining was very thick and bumpy. My results came back as normal and the lining was caused by noreisterone.
My periods have been irregular since and my blood tests suggest I am in perimenopause. My period at the minute I spotted for 2 weeks then it has come down a bit then heavy for a couple of days then got back to light, is this normal?
I no longer feel like a woman 3 stone overweight, I have another man who wants to give me the world and very interested in me but I don't feel I can give up almost 20 years of marriage and split up the the family home but my head, hormones are all over the place. I have very few people I could talk to.
Sorry for the rant xx
Ellie,
The noristerone meds you take is a type of progesterone, which is making your uterine lining thicker. Side effect is breakthrough bleeding. I would consider getting off of it, find a natural approach. Don't know why Dr prescribed it initially for you, guessing you have irregular periods? Have your thyroid checked and take a liquid iron supplement to replenish your iron (blood loss).
Sorry to have such a difficult time! I feel the same, I'm on hrt and the progestin on it causes depression, anger and despair to me. I just want to give up my marriage, I have no interest for sex. I'm only 41 and I have to take hormones due to my age. I think that takes a little time for our bodies to adjust to the new hormonal state! Take care!
Hi Ellie sorry you are feeling this way and maybe lonely. I too am 46 and in peri. Yes your hormones are all over which, does strange things to our minds and bodies, do you feel your husband is not supportive? if so this maybe why this other mans interest and support is making you have doubts about your marriage. No one can advice you what to do re your marriage as this is your choice. Can you not talk to your husband? Or do you no longer love him? Are you in the right frame of mind to make such big life changing decisions? xx feel free to rant more , we are here to listen and take care xx
