bleeding

 

Hi guys and gals

 

I have endometriosis, and lately have been having breakthrough bleeding. I

don't know if this is being caused by my Endo, or something more nasty. I

am 39 years old, usually have regular cycles ( although long), and have been

checked over about 6-8 months ago for cervical things.

 

Does anyone know what might be causing this. It can happen 2-3 days after

menstruation, or in the middle of my cycle. I don't thing it is related to

ovulation.

 

Help.

Hi Tracy, I am not a doctor, but I will tell you what I have read. Both endo

and excess bleading are from excess estrogen and too low progesterone. Your

estrogen can be low and still be in excess if it is alot higher than your

progesterone. From what I have read and experienced, taking progesterone cream

would help you on both counts. Here is a list to ask more questions, if you are

interested. Naturalalternativestohrt

The cream I use is Puregest. It has no chemical preservatives in it, just

natural preservatives and since the whole point is that we do absorb through the

skin, then keeping the chemicals out and the progesterone in seems wise to me.

Because I am 51, I am in the range for meno. I occasionally have heavier

bleeding than normal and I just do some cream and it reduces. This is wonderful

because I have had friends who bleed heavy for weeks. So stopping it in one day

is pretty awesome.

Endo, is caused by too much estrogen. Estrogen is what causes the lining of the

uterus to increase, and when it is unopposed by progesterone it just keeps

growing and you end up with endo. so it sounds to me like you need more

progesterone.

 

Again, I am not a doctor. You can read all this in " What Your Doctor Might Not

Tell You About Menopause " by Dr. Robert Lee

Hope this helps
