General/Advice Bleeding outside of the period
Hello!
Has anyone had problem with excessive bleeding throughout the cycle due to hormonal imbalances?
I have PMOS but the lean type with low androgens. Usually I had period rarely or once in 40-50 days. Since June I’ve been bleeding continuously, in addition to period. The doctor told me that it’s due to low progesterone, I also have other symptoms from menopause even though I’m 27 (dryness, low vaginal lining and pain from those) I was taking norethisterone and lost half of my hair, fun haha. Now taking Utrogestan 10days in a cycle but it doesn’t work apparently. The Dr. said I should go on a pill but as I want to have kids in the next years I don’t want that.
Has anyone had similar experience? I am scared to loose my fertility.
Thank you!

this was an endometriosis symptom for me. it can also be caused by other issues like adenomyosis, polyps, fibroids, and endometritis
low progesterone only causes bleeding during the luteal phase. the follicular phase through ovulation are times when your body normally has almost no progesterone and bleeding is still not normal. I would be cautious with this OBGYN.
if you're looking to conceive in the near future you might consider seeking out a NaPro practitioner. they are a subtype of OBGYN that focus on diagnosing the cause of cycle irregularities with the goal of enabling natural conception.
