I'm 49 yrs old and have taken Estrace for the last year or two. They changed it last spring and made it a stronger dose. Still no improvement. Dr. put me on Esclim patch, which is something new. Night sweats have gone away. They also put me on Provera after I continued to bleed and spot for over 2 weeks. Take the provera for 10 days a month. I started it 10/1 and was already bleeding quite heavy 3 days prior to this. Was still heavy for the first 4-5 days I took the Provera. Then I spotted for about 6 days, then started Heavy flowing again. It's now in it's 6th day. Talked to the dr office yesterday and the nurse told me that taking the Provera is like having a D & C and it's to clean it out. I've been bleeding for over 5 weeks! Dr said it will get better. I'm so darn miserable now. Is this normal? They said I will have to take the Provera every month, since I'm on a hormone. Has anyone else had this problem and what was done in your case? I just which they'd give me a hysterectomy and get rid of everything. I can't take this heavy bleed day after day. I'm changing pads every 2 hours! HELP!!
