Will it stop soon or how long should it last?View Thread
My question is, how long does spot bleeding usually last?
Is there anything i can do about it?
And is it always going to happen while I'm on the pill or will it eventually not happen anymore?
I know i have a lot of questions. Im sorry. Im just really curious and i want to know what is happening to my body when it does stuff like this..View Thread
I am 47yrs old, and started what was diagnosed to be peri-menopause last fall. (Heavy bleeding and headaches). I've initially been working with a male GYN; he started me on progesterone cream after a two week long period and headaches in November. December and January, my period bleeding was heavy and came irregularly at 34 days, 17, and 19 days. He put me on Alora and 100mg prometrium. I didn't do well with this level of estrogen; was then placed on a Climara patch at a lower dose. Things were still "up and down"; cycle for February 27 days, but then March was 22 days; then 14 days. The GYN had me stop the estrogen and start back with just the Prometrium; 14 days off/on. I tried to start back on the estrogen patch, but did not seem to tolerate the symptoms (emotional, headache, crazy-feeling) so I stopped the Climara and just continued with the prometrium. My cycles were more regular but still heavy menstrual bleeding (in the first few days but would taper off) but I was still just not feeling well.
Earlier this month, I went to a female GYN who specializes in menopause. First, she took me off the prometrium, and I have been feeling better. She also wanted a follow-up test to an abnormal transvaginal sonogram that I had done in February. (The male GYN did not see it necessary to do a repeat sonogram.) Now, that I've gone back to evaluate the February test--my endometrium was 8mm in thickness. I had the follow-up sonogram done last week and it showed my endometrium was 15mm on day 14 of my cycle. The female GYN Doctor wants me to do a "D&C" next week; as the sonogram report also states "echogenic lesion in the endocervical canal", bilateral ovarian cysts and a fibroid. The PAP smear I just had came back normal. In a few days, I will get the estrodial and progesterone blood tests the Doctor wanted on days 21--26 of my cycle.
I cannot seem to find a good source to tell me what is normal endometrium thickness. There seems to be some difference in the interpretation of the sonogram. I have another appointment before the surgery so I thought I would ask your opinion. I am curious as to what you would recommend for my situation.
Thanks in advance for your time and considerationView Thread

I had some labs done at the pain management clinic where I work but the doctor I work for seems to busy to be bothered by the results.
My Estradiol was around 24, and my Cortisol was just over 40.
I am just looking for some advice on what this could be and what kind of specialist I should see.View Thread
I have severe headache especially on the left side near temple and nose bridge. The headache is followed by vomit after food intake. I am experiencing this problem for the past one year. I used to take pain reliever drugs but i get relieved from the headache for some time. Again it starts and continue till the end of menses day (5 days). Kindly suggest and give your opinion to come over this problemView Thread

Please save your life by getting a second opinion if your OB/GYN suddenly claims you have Pre-Cancerous Cells via your yearly Pap Smear. Patient Abuses are on High for Financial Gains.
Don't allow any treatments or surgery until you have gone else where to seek out the verifacation of Truth or Lie.
Yes, there are Great Doc's out there, but just in all walks of life, there are Good & Bad. And sometimes those we believed are Good turn Bad due to their Bad Circumstances & Greed.
We as Patients, are not informed if and when these people are sued by a Patient the caused Harm to.
Know you Body, know your Health Care Providers and go to Public Information to be Awear of there Past. Honorable or DisHonrable? They make that choice. An OB/GYN Stole my life then stole my Right to Justice. He still has a License to cause Harm to Other Women. I was the 2nd to my knowledge & he got away with it. I Pray there are no more. Their Blood would be on my Hands & Soul, like his!
"Sad but True Story." And yes, there are really True Honarable Doctor's out there. "Good Luck" with finding them. They Protect the Guilty ones when they should WEED them out! I've found a few, I think.View Thread
