Still Bleeding

This summer has been a rough summer for my body. In May I had a superlight period, then June, July and August basically had my period for 3 weeks straight then off my period then 3 weeks again. They are super heavy and filled with a lot clots. In August I went to the doctor, had a ultrasound done, biopsy and everything came back normal, though she did say I had debris up there. She put me on medroxy, where i would start it on the 10th-end it on the 24th. I had my period when I started, it seemed to stop for about 5 days and now its been back for almost a week and its super heavy and clotty. She gave me a 3 month supply of this, does it take awhile for it to work. I am feeling little weak and tired and am sick of supporting Tampax on my own. Help!

Hello, Nora! How are you?

It seems you've had a build up of excess endometrial tissue, which would be the debris your doctor mentioned. It's usually caused by elevated estrogen levels.

The Medroxy should help break it down, so it can be eliminated through the bleeding, but yes, it may take a couple months.

If there's no improvement after your course of treatment, then other options may need to be explored.

Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, acne and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
