Hi Linz, I'm suppose to take BCP to stop peroids, but I've heard more bad stories about Depo-Provera and am too afraid to use it. Plus my GYN never suggested it. It is great you are doing well with it.
Like you Heidi I never had problems with BCP over ten years ago when taking it - only problem was constant yeast infections.
I haven't found my GYN very helpful. I asked her if there is blood work to check my hormone levels and she said no. I asked her if it is possible I'm in perimenopause and she it is possible. My feeling is than there should be blood drawn to check.
She told me it will take a week to stablize, since I stopped taking the pill after a week. I just woke up from a 2 1/2 hour nap, because I'm so tired and slept through my class. I haven't stopped bleeding for elevan days.
I plan to call my GP next week, because he is always so helpful and seems to know all the answers to my questions. See if he can help me feel better.
